Of what use is the draught of immortality to me
now dat we never see each other again,
and i spent my days shedding enough tears to float upon their wake?
With my strength and my bow,
i should be able to strike down the dragon
and obtain the jewel from around its neck.
I thought it was real,
yet when i looked closer,
it was but a bejeweled branch bedecked with words.
Had i known that this robe would burn without a trace,
I would not have doubted its verity;
instead of casting it into flames,i would
have spent my days admiring it.
You have not come by in a long time;
is it true that i await the Swallow's Cowrie Shell to no avail,
just as there are neither pine trees nor shells in the desolate
Cove of Sumi,which is even shunned by the waves?
I thought the stone bowl would be alight with Buddha's virtue,
but I do not even see a glimmer of light
that one can see in dew-laden grass.
What have you truly sought in Mt. Ogura?
Now that the time has come for me to don
my Feathered Robe of the Heavens
and bid farewell to the earthly world,
I long for your presence and I suffer.
dat was some poem in the inuyasha movie...
haha...but actually i dun quite get it...wahahah..
