Among leg-straining Mountains

by Yamabe no Akahito

Yamabe no Akahito

Among leg-straining
Mountains and the fields, too,
His Majesty's huntsmen,
Game-bows in hand,
Noisily advance-what a sight!

    by Patience Worth
    My faith is the lighting of my black night, The beacon of its pit-like sea. My faith is a staff within my hand. My faith is the sling-my faith is the stone.
