“The "secret" of their being up in the tree had continued for almost two years now.”
Yasunari Kawabata (1899–1972) Japanese author, Nobel Prize winner
"Up in the Tree" [Ki-no Ue] (1962).

Michiko, straddling one branch, leaned back against another. There were days when little birds came and days when the wind sang through the pine needles. Although they weren't that high off the ground, these two little lovers felt as if they were in a completely different world, far away from the earth.
