This futuristic car is old now.
The white chrysanthemum
is disguised by the first frost.
If I wanted to pick one
I could find it only by chance.
--Oshikochi no Mitsune (tr Rexroth)
White chrysanthemums,
lost amidst the handiwork
of this first snowfall:
if i tried to pick one i
could find it only by chance.
(my tr.)
Martin Johnson Heade, Thunderstorm on Narragansett Bay, 1868.
