The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Kwaidan by Lafcadio Hearn: for more than literary reasons:--
Nugi-kakuru [2]
Haori sugata no
Kocho kana!
[Like a haori being taken off -- that is the shape of a butterfly!]
Torisashi no
Sao no jama suru
Kocho kana!
[Ah, the butterfly keeps getting in the way of the bird-catcher's pole! [3]]
Tsurigane ni
Tomarite nemuru
 Kwaidan |
