===みわたせ===
   * Poem by Fujiware no Sadaie

//miwataseba\\ hana mo moniji mo\\ nakarikeri\\ ura no tomaya no\\ aki no yūgure//

//Gazing long to the shore -\\
Never\\
Was there blossom or crimson leaf:\\
Out at sea's edge\\
A rush hut\\
    in autumn dusk//

   * Lord Teika said this, and 利休 had his own reply to this:







===花をのみ===

   * By Fujiwara Ietaka:

> 花をのみ　待つらん人に　山里の
> 雪間の草の　春を見せばや

| hana wo nomi | Zeigte man doch den nur die Kirschblüten |
| matsubaran hito ni | erwartenden Menschen |
| yamazato no | den Frühling |
| yuki ma no kusa no | der Gräser im tauenden Schnee |
| haru wo miseba ya. | des Bergdorfes! |

   * For this poem, there is a 名物茶入 called 初草 that reminds us of the brown grass in the melting snow.

===Richness===
   * [[http://www.teeweg.de/de/kisetsu/gomei1.html#top|Ulrich]] explains how 侘び can only come from knowing the richness (actual richness and the richness of cherry blossoms), and by explicitly turning away from it.
