The Monk Saigyo Poem by Saigyo

The Monk Saigyo

Rating: 2.8


Should I blame the moon
For bringing forth this sadness,
As if it pictured grief?
Lifting up my troubled face,
I regard it through my tears

Saigyo, who always longed for human companionship, forced himself to endure long periods of isolation.. sort of self inflicted torture..
