The Vision
It is said that the author, Keiko Takemiya, received her inspiration for Kaze to Ki no Uta and designed the full plot in a single night. She then told her friend Norie Masuyama of the planned story and, following the publication of the manga, the two collaborated on a novel which provided a second half to the story, Kami no Kohitsuji (神の子羊?, lit. Agnus Dei or the Lamb of the God), by Noris Haaze (a pen name of Masuyama).

Famous quotes containing the word vision:
“Our star was brighter perhaps when it had water in it.
Now there is no question even of that, but only
Of holding on to the hard earth so as not to get thrown off,
With an occasional dream, a vision ...”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“I’ve been cursed for delving into the mysteries of life. Perhaps death is sacred, and I’ve profaned it. Oh, what a wonderful vision it was. I dreamed of being the first to give to the world the secret that God is so jealous of, the formula for life. Think of the power, to create a man. And I did, I did it, I created a man. And who knows, in time I could have trained him to do my will. I could have bred a race, I might even have found the secret of eternal life.”
—William Hurlbut (1883–?)
