Text(Edward G. Seidensticker; The Tale of Genji) |
<Suma>
P232-21 "Grasses of forgetfulness" might have sprung up had he quite vanished from the earth; but he was at Suma, not so very far away, she had heard. She could not know when he would return. <The Ivy> P895-13 At Rokujo the ´grasses of forgetfulness´ were princes and princesses there again, and soon it was as lively as ever. <A Boat upon the Waters> Her mother would grieve for a time; but she had all those other children and would presently gather grasses of forgetfulness. Death would bring less lingering sorrow than disgrace. |
