When Princess Katsura had said ‘Catch some fireflies,’ and one of the boys had them wrapped up in the sleeves of his jacket.

つつめどもかくれぬ物は夏虫の身よりあまれる思ひなりけり

tutumedomo kakurenu mono Fa natumusi no mi yori amareru omoFinarikeri

Wrapped up, yet Unconcealable are The summer insects: Their bodies bringing an excess Of passion’s fires.
