Though I visit him
Ceaselessly
In my dreams,
The sum of all those meetings
Is less than a single waking glimpse. (as translated by Helen Craig McCullough)
The town of Ogachi (in Akita) still celebrate the legendary poetess, Komachi. All that is extant is about 22 poems that can be attributed to her brush.
On such a night as this
When no moon lights your way to me,
I wake, my passion blazing,
My breast a fire raging, exploding flame
While within me my heart chars. (as translated by Earl Miner)
That's just hot. http://youtu.be/UcfcfHrA-3Q
