Porter, [1909]\nSEE how the wind of autumn drives\n \u00a0\u00a0The clouds to left and right,\n While in between the moon peeps out,\n \u00a0\u00a0Dispersing with her light\n \u00a0\u00a0The darkness of the night.\nAki-suke died about the year 1155. More-izuru literally means, that the light of the moon 'leaks out'; the verse is a charming example of a Japanese picture-poem. Probably the first word of the verse was purposely made to coincide with the poet's first name in sound, although the two words are written with different characters in the original.","title":"A Hundred Verses from Old Japan (The Hyakunin-isshu): 79.
