Just as there are many of those sprouts, does that person know that my thoughts are also overflowing in my heart? (Waka number 604) Ki no Tsurayuki That person is like a sandalwood bow, which has passed many years without even touching a finger. Because of this, I cannot sleep peacefully, tossing and turning even at night. (Waka number 605) Ki no Tsurayuki It is only the fact that this feeling in my heart is not understood by that person that makes me sad; I do not have any other desires. After all, only I know my own sorrow. (Waka number 606) Ki no Tomonori It is only that I do not express it in words, so it is not that my sincerity is lacking in any way. Just as the water of the Minase River is absorbed underground and hidden from view, to secretly communicate in my heart, how truly lovely it is.
