Today we’re drawing from Chapter 14 of the Tale of Genji.
Sources:
Poems from Royall Tyler’s translation of The Tale of Genji:
O that soon these sleeves might touch her with their caress, that she long endure
like the rock the angel’s wing brushes age after long age.
These poor sleeves of mine are too narrow: I cannot caress her alone
And I look to the tall pine for his overspreading shade
Poems from Seidensticker’s translation of The Tale of Genji:
These sleeves are much too narrow to offer protection. The blossom awaits those all-encompassing ones.
