"Every day, priests minutely examine the Dharma
And endlessly chant complicated sutras.
Before doing that, though, they should learn
How to read the love letters sent by the wind and rain, the snow and moon."
"After ten days on this temple, my mind is spinning --
The red thread of passion is very strong in my loins.
If you wish to locate me another day,
Look in the fish stall, sake shop, or brothel.
-- Ikkyu
