Enjoying Kokin Waka Shu in English-881 Ki no Tsurayuki-91
< 池に月の見えけるをよめる >
ふたつなき ものと思ひしを 水底(ﾐﾅｿｺ)に 山の端(ﾊ)ならず いづる月影
紀 貫之
< Composed looking at the moon reflected on the surface of the pond. >
There is only one moon,
I thought so, undoubtedly,
None but one.
But it rises from the bottom of the water, unexpectely,
Other than from the edge of the mountain, ordinary.
Ki no Tsurayuki
(鑑賞)
< 池に月の写ったのを詠んだ >
ふたつなきものと思ったのだが、山の端ではなく、水底に月がのぼってきた。
(Appreciation)
There is only one moon. There are not two, I thought so far.
I rises not only from the edge of the mountain but also from the bottom of the water, the moonlight mirroring on the surface.
