Feeling the world was a fleeting place on hearing that Right Major Captain [Fujiwara no] Michifusa had died.
數ならぬ身の憂事は世中になきうちにだにいらぬなりけり
kazu naranu mi no uki koto Fa yo no naka ni naki uti ni dani iranu narikeri |
Without number Are the griefs upon me; so, In this fleeting world Not even the dead can enter In, it seems. |
