空模様(5終)

サトノノブレス状態充実!鍵を握るのは空模様か
(中略)
池江師は「早い時期からレベルの高いところで戦ってきたけど今年に入ってもう一段階、成長した感じ。状態はいいですよ」と充実ぶりをアピールする。あとは馬場が鍵。「この雨がどうかですね。できればいい馬場でやりたい」と台風16号と秋雨前線の影響を気にしていた。

ミラボーは天然痘のあとのあるライオンであり、ダントンは鳩の翼をつけたブルドッグで、ロペスピエールは舞踏会の服装をした大山猫、マラーは酔っぱらいの禿鷹という具合だった。(中略)そしてサント=ジュヌヴィエーヴの教会の黄金のドームが空に消えてゆくのを見、巨大な真紅の壁布で覆われたようなみごとな西の空とを見て感極まっていた。

<シャルル・ノディエ『パリの牢獄 統領時代』篠田知和基訳 より一部引用>

皇居前広場の芝生はさきほどの通り雨で緑の色を一段と深め、葡萄色の雲の切れ目からは暮れ残った空が、艶の失せたアルミニュウムのように白っぽく覗いていた。

<伊藤未知男『私の名はテオドラ』>

「ね、警察がきみの死体発掘を計画しているぞ。何が出てくるかね?」
「ハービンさ」と、ハリーは事もなげに答えた。彼は窓から眼をそむけて言った、「空を見なよ」
 箱は頂上に達すると、静止したままで中空にかかっていた。入日の光が、黒いけたの彼方の、しわのよった紙のような空の上に、幾条ものしまをなして走っていた。

<グレアム・グリーン『第三の男』小津次郎訳 より一部引用>

汚れた高い建物の間に挟まれ、押しつぶされそうになりながらも、貧しい金髪の若い女のように輝いていたニューヨークの空。屋根裏部屋の天井の窓の上に、薄い絹の衣裳のように、淡く桃色にひろがっていたパリの空。
