Ono no Komači citáty

Ono no Komači byla japonská básnířka období Heian, jedna ze šesti nesmrtelných japonských básníků a jediná žena mezi nimi.

O jejím životě se dochovalo velmi málo hodnověrných zpráv, zato početné legendy hovoří o její kráse, milostných vztazích a básnickém nadání. Podle tradice se narodila v prefektuře Akita a žila jako dvorní dáma na císařském dvoře v Heian-kjó .

Z jejího díla se dochoval sto deset básní tanka, které se vyznačují elegancí, jemností, zvukomalebností a hloubkou milostných citů. Ki no Curajuki, hlavní pořadatel první císařské antologie japonské poezie Kokinšú, jí jako jedinou ženu zařadil mezi šest nesmrtelných japonských básníků . Do sbírky pak zařadil osmnáct jejích pětiverší. Wikipedia

Passed away under the rain,
While I idly looked upon them
Where is my yester-love?”

Of dream to you, my feet
Never rest. But one glimpse of you

Worth all these many nights of love.”

are long by repute alone:

when morning's first light appeared,
leaving everything unsaid.”

With no outward sign—
Is the flower
Of the heart of man
In this world!”
