Saigyô - the pathos of things?
------- 'Mono no aware' (物の哀れ,”the pathos of things")?
yo no naka o
omoeba nabete
chiru hana no
wa ga mi o sate mo
izuchi ka mo sen
-
When, on this world of ours
I think, all is as
Scattered blossom;
Of me, in the end
What is to become, I wonder? ------- The Monk Saigyô - SKKS XVI: 1471
