"This body
grown fragile, floating,
a reed cut from its roots . . .
If a stream would ask me
to follow, I'd go, I think."

~Ono no Komachi (825-ca.900)

Agitated
like the wings of the snipe
at dawn, beating and beating,
on the night you do not come,
endlessly beating.

Ono no Komachi


According to one of the Komachi stories, the poet Ono no Komachi promised to meet her ardent suitor Fukakusa Shōjō if he agreed to spend a hundred nights on the stepstool of an oxcart. After ninety-nine nights, he died.
