No; my friends; I shall never be an ascetic; whatever you may say。

I shall never be an ascetic if she does not take the vow with me。

It is my firm resolve that if I cannot find a shady shelter and a panion for my penance; I shall never turn ascetic。

No; my friends; I shall never leave my hearth and home; and retire into the forest solitude;

If rings no merry laughter in its echoing shade and if the end of no saffron mantle flutters in the wind;

If its silence is not deepened by soft whispers。

I shall never be an ascetic。

The Gardener  44

Reverend sir; forgive this pair of sinners。 Spring winds today are blowing in wild eddies; driving dust and dead leaves away; and with them your lessons are all lost。

Do not say; father; that life is a vanity。

For we have made truce with death for once; and only for a few fragrant hours we two have been made immortal。

Even if the king’s army came and fiercely fell upon us we should sadly shake our heads and say; Brothers; you are disturbing us。

Let your laughter be but a meaningless mirth like twinkles of light on the ripples。

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf。

Strike in chords from your harp fitful momentary rhythms。

The Gardener  46

You left me and went on your way。

I thought I should mourn for you and set your solitary image in my heart wrought in a golden song。

But ah; my evil fortune; time is short。

Youth wanes year after year; the spring days are fugitive; the frail flowers die for nothing; and the wise man warns me that life is but a dewdrop on the lotus leaf。

Should I neglect all this to gaze after one who has turned her back on me?

That would be rude and foolish; for time is short。

Then; e; my rainy nights with pattering feet; smile; my golden autumn; e; careless April; scattering your kisses abroad。

You e; and you; and you also!

My loves; you know we are mortals。 Is it wise to break one’s heart for the one who takes her heart away? For time is short。

It is sweet to sit in a corner to muse and write in rhymes that you are all my world。

It is heroic to hug one’s sorrow and determine not to be consoled。
