Lady Horikawa
« on: February 08, 2016, 03:31:08 PM »
"Is it forever
That he hopes our love will last?
He did not answer.
And now my daylight thoughts
Are as tangled as my black hair." - Lady Horikawa

長からむ
心もしらず
黒髪の
みだれてけさは
物をこそ思へ

[Nagakaran / Kokoro mo shirazu / Kurokami no / Midarete kesa wa / Mono o koso omoe]

人一首, One hundred poems by one hundred poems, compilation dating from the 13th c.) published online by the University of Virginia - http://jti.lib.virginia.edu/japanese/hyakunin/hyakua.html
Not here, not there, but everywhere - always right before your eyes.
