Tale of Genji

It is interesting to me that only 100 years after it was written, Murasaki Shikibu's novel was in a court language that was unreadable.  I think we have little concept of how fast everything changes, how soon the past is erased, how little of the past is known in terms of the zeitgeist, the complexity of the present, the changeability of the past even the recent past.
