NYŪDŌ SAKI DAIJŌDAIJIN
Hana sasou Arashi no niwa no Yuki narade Furi yuku mono wa Waga mi nari keri.
THE LAY-PRIEST, A FORMER PRIME MINISTER OF STATE
This snow is not from blossoms white Wind-scattered, here and there, That whiten all my garden paths And leave the branches bare; ’Tis age that snows my hair!
The writer’s name was Kintsune; he retired from office to enter the church, and died in the year 1244, aged seventy-six.
Note the play upon yuki, ‘snow,’ and yuku, the verb ‘to go’; furi yuku means ‘going to fall’ (as snow), but furi also suggests the idea of ‘growing old’. He says it is really he himself that is fading and falling, rather than the petals of his garden flowers blown by the storm.
The picture does not seem to illustrate the verse very well; it is probably meant to show Kintsune on his verandah, lamenting over his increasing years; but in the original edition, from which the pictures were taken, fallen cherry blossoms are shown underneath the verse at the bottom of the page.

IMPU MON-IN NO ŌSUKE
Misebayana Ojima no ama no Sode dani no Nure ni zo nureshi Iro wa kawaraji.
THE CHIEF VICE-OFFICIAL IN ATTENDANCE ON THE DOWAGER EMPRESS IMPU
The fisher’s clothes, though cheap, withstand The drenching they receive; But see! my floods of tears have blurred The colours of my sleeve, As for thy love I grieve.
The writer is said to have been one of the Fujiwara family, and to have died in the year 1210. Ojima is an island in the Inland Sea.
In the last line the word iro can mean both ‘colour’ and ‘love’; so that the meaning is, the writer‘s love will remain as constant as the colour of the fisher’s clothes, even though drenched with salt water. In connexion with this word iro, it may be mentioned that a crimson maple leaf, when sent by a lady to her lover, is a gentle hint that she wishes to see him no more; the meaning being, that as the colour (iro) of the leaf has changed, so her love (iro) has changed also.

GO-KYŌ-GOKU SESSHŌ SAKI NO DAIJŌDAIJIN
Kirigirisu Naku ya shimo yo no Samushiro ni Koromo katashiki Hitori kamo nen.
THE REGENT AND FORMER PRIME MINISTER GO-KYŌ-GOKU
I’m sleeping all alone, and hear The crickets round my head; So cold and frosty is the night, That I across the bed My koromo have spread.
This writer was another of the great Fujiwara family, and died in the year 1206.
The word kirigirisu, a cricket, is supposed to represent its song; the Japanese say that the chirping of crickets means cold weather.
In the picture the poet is sitting up in bed with his arm on his pillow, listening to the crickets; and in the original illustrated edition underneath the verse is drawn a cricket hiding in the grass.

SANGI MASATSUNE
Miyoshino no Yama no aki kaze Sayo fukete Furu sato samuku Koromo utsu nari.
THE PRIVY COUNCILLOR MASATSUNE
Around Mount Miyoshino’s crest The autumn winds blow drear; The villagers are beating cloth, Their merry din I hear, This night so cold and clear.
Masatsune was a son of the writer of verse No. 83; he died in the year 1221. He appears in the illustration sitting alone in his house, listening to the sound of the villagers beating the cloth to make it supple.

JŪNII IYE-TAKA
Kaze soyogu Nara no ogawa no Yūgure wa Misogi zo natsu no Shirushi nari keri.
THE OFFICIAL IYE-TAKA
The twilight dim, the gentle breeze By Nara’s little stream, The splash of worshippers who wash Before the shrine, all seem A perfect summer’s dream.
Iye-taka was another of the great Fujiwara family; he died in the year 1237.
The word misogi means the Shinto ceremony of purifying the body before worship by washing or sprinkling with water. This verse is said to have been inscribed on a screen in the apartments of the Empress at Nara.
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/On a Box containing his own Works

ON A BOX CONTAINING HIS OWN WORKS
I break up cypress and make a book-box;
The box well-made,— and the cypress-wood tough. In it shall be kept what author's works? The inscription says PO LO-T'IEN. All my life has been spent in writing books,
From when I was young till now that I am old. First and last,— seventy whole volumes;
Big and little,— three thousand themes. Well I know in the end they'll be scattered and lost;
But I cannot bear to see them thrown away,
With my own hand I open and shut the locks,
And put it carefully in front of the book-curtain. I am like Tēng Pai-tao; But to-day there is not any Wang Ts'an. All I can do is to divide them among my daughters
To be left by them to give to my grandchildren.
* ↑ I.e., separate poems, essays, etc.
* ↑ Who was obliged to abandon his only child on the roadside.
* ↑ Who rescued a foundling.
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/On the Death of his Father

ON THE DEATH OF HIS FATHER
By Wei Wēn-ti, son of Ts'ao Ts'ao, who founded the dynasty of Wei, and died in A. D. 220. [The poem has been wrongly attributed to Han Wēn-ti, died 157 B. C.]
I look up and see / his curtains and bed:
I look down and examine / his table and mat. The things are there / just as before.
But the man they belonged to / is not there.
His spirit suddenly / has taken flight
And left me behind / far away.
To whom shall I look, / on whom rely?
My tears flow / in an endless stream.
"Yu, yu" / cry the wandering deer As they carry fodder / to their young in the wood.
Flap, flap / fly the birds
As they carry their little ones / back to the nest.
I alone / am desolate
Dreading the days / of our long parting:
My grieving heart's / settled pain
No one else / can understand.
There is a saying / among people
"Sorrow makes us / grow old."
Alas, alas / for my white hairs!
All too early / they have come!
Long wailing, / long sighing
My thoughts are fixed on my sage parent.
They say the good / live long:
Then why was he / not spared?
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/People hide their Love

PEOPLE HIDE THEIR LOVE
By Wu-ti
Who says
That it's by my desire,
This separation, this living so far from you?
My dress still smells of the lavender you gave:
My hand still holds the letter that you sent. Round my waist I wear a double sash:
I dream that it binds us both with a same-heart knot. Did not you know that people hide their love,
Like the flower that seems too precious to be picked?
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/Planting Flowers on the Eastern Embankment

PLANTING FLOWERS ON THE EASTERN EMBANKMENT
Written when Governor of Chung-Chou
I took money and bought flowering trees
And planted them out on the bank to the east of the Keep. I simply bought whatever had most blooms,
Not caring whether peach, apricot, or plum. A hundred fruits, all mixed up together;
A thousand branches, flowering in due rotation. Each has its season coming early or late;
But to all alike the fertile soil is kind. The red flowers hang like a heavy mist;
The white flowers gleam like a fall of snow. The wandering bees cannot bear to leave them;
The sweet birds also come there to roost. In front there flows an ever-running stream;
Beneath there is built a little flat terrace. Sometimes I sweep the flagstones of the terrace;
Sometimes, in the wind, I raise my cup and drink. The flower-branches screen my head from the sun;
The flower-buds fall down into my lap. Alone drinking, alone singing my songs
I do not notice that the moon is level with the steps. The people of Pa do not care for flowers;
All the spring no one has come to look. But their Governor General, alone with his cup of wine
Sits till evening and will not move from the place!
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/On the Birth of his Son

ON THE BIRTH OF HIS SON
By Su Tung-p'o [A. D. 1036–1101]
Families, when a child is born Want it to be intelligent. I, through intelligence,
Having wrecked my whole life, Only hope the baby will prove
Ignorant and stupid. Then he will crown a tranquil life
By becoming a Cabinet Minister.
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/Passing T'ien-mēn Street in Ch'ang-an and seeing a distant View of Chung-nan Mountain

PASSING TIEN-MĒN STREET IN CH'ANG-AN AND SEEING A DISTANT VIEW OF CHUNG-NAN MOUNTAIN
The snow has gone from Chung-nan; spring is almost come. Lovely in the distance its blue colours, against the brown of the streets. A thousand coaches, ten thousand horsemen pass down the Nine Roads; Turns his head and looks at the mountains, — not one man!
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/On being Sixty

ON BEING SIXTY
Addressed to Liu Mēng-tē, who had asked for a poem. He was the same age as Po Chü-i.
Between thirty and forty, one is distracted by the Five Lusts;
Between seventy and eighty, one is a prey to a hundred diseases. But from fifty to sixty one is free from all ills;
Calm and still — the heart enjoys rest. I have put behind me Love and Greed; I have done with Profit and Fame;
I am still short of illness and decay and far from decrepit age. Strength of limb I still possess to seek the rivers and hills;
Still my heart has spirit enough to listen to flutes and strings. At leisure I open new wine and taste several cups;
Drunken I recall old poems and sing a whole volume. Mēng-tē has asked for a poem and herewith I exhort him
Not to complain of three-score, "the time of obedient ears."
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/On being removed from Hsün-yang and sent to Chung-chou

ON BEING REMOVED FROM HSÜN-YANG AND SENT TO CHUNG-CHOU
A remote place in the mountains of Pa [Ssech'uan]
Before this, when I was stationed at Hsün-yang,
Already I regretted the fewness of friends and guests. Suddenly, suddenly,— bearing a stricken heart
I left the gates, with nothing to comfort me. Henceforward,— relegated to deep seclusion
In a bottomless gorge, flanked by precipitous mountains,
Five months on end the passage of boats is stopped
By the piled billows that toss and leap like colts. The inhabitants of Pa resemble wild apes;
Fierce and lusty, they fill the mountains and prairies. Among such as these I cannot hope for friends
And am pleased with anyone who is even remotely human!
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/On hearing someone sing a Poem by Yüan Chēn

ON HEARING SOMEONE SING A POEM BY YÜAN CHĒN
Written long after Chēn's death
No new poems his brush will trace:
Even his fame is dead.
His old poems are deep in dust
At the bottom of boxes and cupboards.
Once lately, when someone was singing,
Suddenly I heard a verse —
Before I had time to catch the words
A pain had stabbed my heart.
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/On the way to Hangchow: Anchored on the River at Night

ON THE WAY TO HANGCHOW: ANCHORED ON THE RIVER AT NIGHT
Little sleeping and much grieving,— the traveller
Rises at midnight and looks back towards home. The sands are bright with moonlight that joins the shores;
The sail is white with dew that has covered the boat. Nearing the sea, the river grows broader and broader:
Approaching autumn, the nights longer and longer. Thirty times we have slept amid mists and waves,
And still we have not reached Hang-chow!

​CRICHTON. (Lieut., 1812. f-p., 9; h-p., 33.)
William Crichton entered the Navy, 8 March, 1805, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Immortalité 36, Capt. Edw. W. C. R. Owen; in which frigate and the Clyde 38, commanded by the same officer, we find him in constant collision with the Boulogne flotilla until May, 1807. During the next 12 months he served on the South American and Cape stations on board the Malabar 74, Capt. John Temple, and Camel store-ship, Capt. John Joyce; and then rejoining the Clyde, attained the rating of Midshipman 3 Sept. 1808. Early in 1809 he returned, in the Clorinde 38, Capt. Thos. Briggs, to the Cape of Good Hope, where, and off the Isle of France, he continued alternately to serve, in the Nereide 36, Capt. Robt. Corbett, Charwell and Sapphire sloops, both commanded by Capt. Hon. Wm. Gordon, Phoebe 36, Capt. Jas. Hillyar, Minerva hired armed-ship, Capt. Hon. Wm. Gordon, and Boadicea 38, Capt. Lord Viscount Neville, until Juue, 1811. After an intermediate attachment to the Laurestinus 22, Capt. Hon. Wm. Gordon, on the South American station, he obtained a Lieutenant’s commission, dated 21 March, 1812; and he was subsequently appointed – 19 May, 1813, to the Creole 36, Capts. Robt. Forbes and Geo. Chas. Mackenzie, employed off the coast of Africa – and, 14 Nov. 1814, to the Menai 24, Capt. Watkin Owen Pell, on the North American station. While under Capt. Mackenzie he took part, on 23 Jan. 1814, in a drawn action, fought with much spirit for nearly two hours, between the Creole and the French 40-gun frigate Sultane; on which occasion the loss of the British amounted to 10 killed and 26 wounded, and that of the enemy to about 20 killed and 30 wounded. Mr. Crichton left the Menai in Jan. 1817; and has not since been afloat.

​CRIRIE. (Commander, 1825. f-p., 11; h-p., 33.)
John Cririe was born about 1783.
This officer entered the Navy, 26 Sept. 1803, as Midshipman, on board the Ulysses 44, Capt. Edw. Henry Columbine; and on proceeding to the West Indies, was very actively employed in the Pandour, Capt. John Nash, and Drake 14, Capt. Wm. King, until wrecked, off Nevis, in Sept. 1804. After a further servitude of two years on the same station, as Master’s Mate, in the Carysfort 28, Capt. Kenneth Mackenzie, he returned home, and until promoted, 7 Nov. 1809, successively joined, off the coast of France, the Ardent 64, Capt. Geo. Eyre, Prospero, Capt. Wm. King, Pomone 38, Capt. Robt. Barrie, by whom he appears to have been often employed on cutting-out expeditions, and Ville de Paris 110, and Caledonia 120, flag-ships of Lords Gardner and Gambler. For his conduct as Second in command of a fire-vessel at the destruction of the French shipping in Basque Roads, 11 April, 1809, Mr. Cririe, as above, was awarded a commission immediately on passing his examination. He had previously, however, been in charge also of a gun-boat during the expedition to the Scheldt. Being next appointed, 25 Nov. 1809, to the Crocodile 22, Capts. E. H. Columbine and John Rich. Lumley, he served for a considerable time on the coast of Africa; and while there commanded the boats for the suppression of the slave traffic up the different rivers until disabled by the yellow fever in 1811. Removing with Capt. Lumley to the Narcissus 32, as his First-Lieutenant, 29 June, 1812, we subsequently find him commanding the boats on numerous occasions against the American enemy; from whom, on 24 Nov. 1812, he captured, in face of a heavy discharge of grape and langridge, and with a loss to the British of one man killed and another wounded, the Joseph and Mary, a dangerous privateer, of 4 guns and 73 men, between Cuba and St. Domingo – and, on 12 June, 1813, the Surveyor Revenue-cruizer, of 6 guns, pierced for 12, and 25 men, which he brought out from York River, in the Chesapeake. The latter vessel, whose loss amounted to 5 men wounded, was fully prepared for resistance, and was protected from the shore by 4 field-pieces and a body of militia. Before her surrender she occasioned her assailants a loss of 3 men killed and 6 wounded, including Mr. Cririe himself, to whose boat the slaughter was chiefly confined. This officer invalided home from chronic rheumatism in June, 1814; and has since been on half-pay. His commission as Commander bears date 27 May, 1825.
