is a novel by Yukio Mishima and is the fourth and last in his Sea of Fertility tetralogy. ==Explanation of the title== In Buddhist scriptures, Devas (天部 ''tenbu'') are mortal angels. The five signs of the decay of an angel are: #The flowery crown withers, #Sweat pours from the armpits, #The robe is soiled, #They lose self-awareness, or become dissatisfied with their station, and #The body becomes fetid or ceases to give off light, or the eyelids tremble. Tōru, whose purity lies only in his malicious self-satisfaction, is a degenerate parody of the idealised Kiyoaki. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Decay of the Angel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
