These are really beautiful and not something that I would have normally read otherwise. Thanks for sharing...

: These are so beautiful, strangely enough, each one leaves me
: feeling empty....
: Shere

:
: This morning I will not
: comb my hair.
: It has lain
: pillowed on the hand of my lover.
: -Kakinomoto no Hitomaro

: Your hair has turned white
: while your heart stayed
: knotted against me.
: I shall never
: loosen it now.
: -Kakinomoto no Hitomaro

: In the dusk
: the road is hard to see.
: Wait 'till moonrise,
: so I can watch you go.
: -Oyakeme, a girl of Buzen, Manyoshu

: In the Autumn mountains
: the colored leaves are falling.
: If I could hold them back,
: I could still see her.
: -Kakinomoto no Hitomaro
