KAGEKIYO.

Though my eyes see not autumn
Yet has the wind brought tiding

GIRL.

Of one who wanders
By ways unknown bewildered,
Finding rest nowhere—

KAGEKIYO.

For in the Three Worlds of Being
Nowhere is rest,[72] but only
In the Void Eternal.
None is, and none can answer
Where to thy asking.

ATTENDANT (going up to KAGEKIYO’S hut).

I have come to your cottage to ask you something.

KAGEKIYO.
