Kokoro, by Natsume Soseki (paragraph #47)

學年の終りに、私は又行李を絡げて、親の墓のある田舍へ歸つて來ました。さうして去年と同じやうに、父母のゐたわが家の中で、又伯父夫婦と其子供の變らない顏を見ました。私は再び其所で故郷の匂を嗅ぎました。其匂は私に取つて依然として懷かしいものでありました。一學年の單調を破る變化としても有難いものに違なかつたのです。

translation

At the end of the school year, I returned to the countryside where my parent's grave was, tying up the carriage. And just like last year, I saw the unchanging faces of my uncle, his wife, and his child in my home where my parents were. I smelled the scent of my hometown there again. Its smell was still unpleasant to me. It must have been a welcome change to break the rules of the first school year.
