Sources:
Poem from Royall Tyler’s translation of The Tale of Genji:
“Coming and going, I found here no barrier to these tears of min--
Perhaps they may seem to you the slope’s ever-welling spring.
Poem from Seidensticker’s translation of The Tale of Genji:
‘It flowed as I went, it flows as I return,
The steady crystal spring at the barrier rise”
Poem from Washburn’s translation of The Tale of Genji:
Both times I passed this gate, goig out, coming back
I could not stop my tears...will he mistake them now
For the clear spring that flows forever on this slope
