He writes decadence clear, weakness healthy, and impatience free. [by Ryuzo Yodono, a literary critic]

Having a weak constitution from birth, the world is too vivid for him to make abstemious habits.
The pleasures of life including hard drinking and activities with friends led an unhealthy life of 31 years, but added freshness and pureness to his works.
He planned to be an engineer and his logical and cool style of writing added other attractions to his works.
