===源氏===

   * {{ruby|橘|たちばな}}の{{ruby|香|か}}をなつかしみほととぎす・{{ruby|花散る里|はなちるさと}}をたづねてぞとふ
         * From Chapter 11 (which is named {{ruby|花散里|はなちるさと}})
         * Looking for the scent of the mandarin orange, which evokes memories of the past, a little cuckoo has sought out this village.
         * The {{ruby|橘|たちばな}} is somewhat of a Proustian madleine for the Japanese, being strongly linked with //remembering the past//.
         * Prince Genji visits lady 花散里, who he had neglected for years. Smelling the 橘 and hearing the cuckoo, he remembers her. She represents constancy rather than passion.
