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:

    “An age which is incapable of poetry is incapable of any kind of literature except the cleverness of a decadence.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
