“without changing color
in the emptiness
of this world of ours,
the heart of man
fades like a flower.
Tsurayuki identifies two powers of poetry I do not find in Komachi's extant poems.
Both relate to the higher realm of the gods and goddesses, and again I do not find this subject matter in her poems.
He cites poems 'Moving heaven and earth' and 'Waking the feelings of unseen gods and spirits'.
In fact, Komachi expresses a view that seems to be nihilistic.”
