Tomorrow Is Another Day

明日は明日の風が吹く (ashita wa ashita no kaze ga fuku): tomorrow, tomorrow's wind will blow. Do not borrow tomorrow's trouble; tomorrow will have its own weather. The proverb has two faces, both old: the townsman's shrug, let it blow, in a young rake's mouth in a novel of 1784; and a hope, in an 1865 exchange between a husband and wife over their last coins, where her answer is that a good wind may come too. Scarlett's last line in the Japanese Gone with the Wind is this proverb, borrowed by the translator from a saying a century and a half older than the film. It is also read asu wa asu no kaze ga fuku.
