THE DEEP CREEK
"There was once a man who would visit a lady from the district of Ubara, in the province of Settsu. One day, he noticed that she feared this might be his final visit, and he recited:
The love I bear you grows ceaselessly— like the salt of the tide rising among the reeds of the creek.
She replied:
Can the boatman ever know how deep this creek runs, merely by dipping his pole from the boat?"
