Translation
Ise Monogatari 46 A Special Friend
‘…but I supposed it is quite natural to forget someone whom one never sees.’ The man’s reply:
I feel no distance between us, / for there is not a moment / that I can forget you, and the image of you / always fills my heart.
(MacMillan 2016, p. 191)

世の中の人の心は、目離るれば忘れぬべき物にこそあめれ。
といへければ、よみてやる。
目離るとも思ほえなくに忘らるる時しなければおもかげに立つ
