THE PRIEST MANSEI
(CA. 730)
IF pressed to compare
this brief life, I might declare:
It’s like the boat
that crossed this morning’s harbor,
leaving no mark on the world.
[S.H.]
THE MONK KENGEI
(CA. 875)
TRUE, I may appear
unkempt like a rotting tree,
jetsam or flotsam,
but on the right occasion
this old heart can still blossom.
[S.H.]
SŌJO HENJŌ
(816–890)
A FINAL drop of dew
or the first sparkling leaf—
each illustrates
this brief temporal world
in which all things pass through.
[S.H.]
HOW mysterious!
The lotus remains unstained
by its muddy roots,
delivering shimmering
bright jewels from common dew.
[S.H.]
