"Sadness"

Can this world
From of old
Always have been so sad,
Or did it become so for the sake
Of me alone?

(Ananymous, Japanese)

"The World"

What shall I compare
This world?
To the white wake behhind
A ship that has rowed away
At dawn.

(By The Priest Mansei c. A.D. 720)

The blossoms have fallen
I stare blankly at a world
Bereft of color:
In the wide vacant sky
The Spring rains are falling

(By Princess Hhikushi)

Untitled

The falling leaves
fall and pile up; the rain
beats on the rain.

(By Gyo Dai---1732-1793)
