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

Ono no Komači: Citáty anglicky

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

the blossom that fades away,
its color unseen,
is the flower in the heart
of one who lives in this world.”

I wake wanting him.

I find life dreary indeed:
if a stream beckoned,
I would gladly cut my roots
and float away like duckweed.”

Of dream to you, my feet
Never rest. But one glimpse of you
In reality would be
Worth all these many nights of love.”

are long by repute alone:
scarcely had we met
when morning's first light appeared,
leaving everything unsaid.”

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