When [his father] was going down to Noto, people came to see them off and he composed this poem.
とまるべき道にはあらずなかなかに會はでぞ今日はあるべかりける
tomarubeki miti ni Fa arazu nakanaka ni aFade zo keFu Fa arubekarikeru |
To halt at all On this path is not done Far better Not to have met at all today I’d say. |
Minamoto no Michinari
