No. 341.
A verse of Chinese poetry, painted in blue upon the side
of a Furnace of faience.
Shiu chio takaku tobi tsukusu.
Ko-un hitori sattsute kannari.
Al MITE futatsunagara ITOWA-ZU.
Tada ari Keitei-zan.
Mr. Kawakami renders the verse into English as
—
follows :
Many birds are flying high up into the air.
A cloud has quietly gone, and none remains.
What I can view without fatigue is only Mount
Keitei.
Nor is the Mount ever weary of me !
