This is also in Daitokuji,
for a country priest

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:11.910 align:middle line:84%
who was the most beautiful
player of the bamboo flute

00:00:11.910 --> 00:00:15.750 align:middle line:90%
in Japan and who played for me.

00:00:15.750 --> 00:00:20.280 align:middle line:84%
"It is as pure as starlight
breathed into a silver thread,

00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:24.540 align:middle line:84%
as tender as the west wind
teaching a forest love

00:00:24.540 --> 00:00:26.325 align:middle line:90%
song to a young bird."

00:00:26.325 --> 00:00:31.630 align:middle line:90%


00:00:31.630 --> 00:00:34.240 align:middle line:84%
This is after I
lived and was living

00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:35.890 align:middle line:84%
in-- this was
written in Ryoko-in

00:00:35.890 --> 00:00:40.060 align:middle line:84%
and was Kobori-san's
favorite poem.

00:00:40.060 --> 00:00:43.570 align:middle line:84%
"What moves-- lightning,
thieves, rabbits, fleas,

00:00:43.570 --> 00:00:45.550 align:middle line:90%
flies, fantasies.

00:00:45.550 --> 00:00:47.080 align:middle line:90%
Not time.

00:00:47.080 --> 00:00:49.150 align:middle line:90%
Thought pursued.

00:00:49.150 --> 00:00:52.750 align:middle line:84%
In my garden, rocks
dream, pine needles

00:00:52.750 --> 00:00:56.080 align:middle line:84%
hold their raindrops
like belief.

00:00:56.080 --> 00:00:57.850 align:middle line:90%
Butterflies flutter.

00:00:57.850 --> 00:00:59.290 align:middle line:90%
Do I?

00:00:59.290 --> 00:01:02.110 align:middle line:84%
It's hard to catch the
moving when I move."

00:01:04.739 --> 00:01:06.420 align:middle line:90%
This in a temple too.

00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:08.880 align:middle line:84%
"We are four in
the sand garden--

00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:14.760 align:middle line:84%
you, I, Friday
star, and full Moon.

00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.210 align:middle line:84%
Night widens its
white braid basket.

00:01:18.210 --> 00:01:21.920 align:middle line:84%
We drop into it
our white words."
