Translation
A poem composed on love. -The Monk Yūsei (Yūjō)
SZS XV: 931/928
this feeling / of heartbreak which leaves you begrudging, / oh, bitter one— / is it you alone who loathes / this world of sorrow?
Fujiwara no Takachika
SZS XV: 932/929
I sorrow over /
the absence of one who knows / my heart—it is surely /
because I am worthless /
that I suffer your cruelty
Minamoto no Arifusa
SZS XV: 933/930
if only I could forget / just as the one who has forgotten / our love has done, / would that I too could have a heart / that need not endure these sorrows
