Lady Kasa - Poetry

Poetry

Rōmaji English
wa ga yado no
yujagekusa no
shiratsuyu no
kenugani moto na
omoyuru kamo
In the loneliness of my heart
I feel as if I should perish
Like the pale dew-drop
Upon the grass of my garden
In the gathering shades of twilight.

Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    “Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A really great poet is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating. The worse their rhymes are, the more picturesque they look. The mere fact of having published a book of second-rate sonnets makes a man quite irresistible. He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realise.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
