Iio Sōgi: Hito wo yume to ya

[ZaunköniG]

Iio Sōgi
1421 - 1502 Japan


Hito wo yume to ya
omoishiruramu;
sumi suteshi,
sono wa kochou no
yadori nite.


We may realize
that people are merely dreams:
the house abandoned,
its wild garden becomes home
to a swarm of butterflies.


Vergegenwärtigt,
dass die Menschen nur träumen:
Das Haus verlassen,
der verwilderte Garten
den Schmetterlingen ein Heim
