came in passing and goes home

yet in my heart alone I wear
the sleeves dyed black with ink

Commentary: Book Seventeen Miscellaneous Poems II 1136

Headnote: "Written on a sliding screen at the Shōbō Lodge when I climbed the mountain in autumn and went to see the five monks of Anraku at Yokawa"
In autumn he climbed Mount Hiei, and when he visited the five monks of Anraku at Yokawa, he wrote this poem on a sliding screen at the Shōbō Lodge. The sleeves of one who goes home after a passing visit are unchanged, yet in my heart alone I wear ink-dyed sleeves, he says. Though he has visited the monks, he goes home still a layman, his dress not changed at all. Yet his heart, having touched their pure life of practice, turns toward the Buddhist path as if clothed in a monk's ink-dyed robe, and he leaves behind in writing his longing to take the tonsure.
The author, "Fujiwara no Kinhira Ason," was a courtier of the late Heian period known as a poet.
It shares the fifth line "sumizome no sode" with the next poem, 1137. Where this poem sings of a layman who wears ink-dyed sleeves in his heart alone, the next sings of a monk who covers the people of the world with his ink-dyed sleeves. It also shares with "shiishiba no sode" in the fifth line of 1116 of this book the entrusting of one's state to the color of a sleeve.

First line, "naozari ni": "in passing, casually."
Second line, "kaeru tamoto wa": "the sleeves of one who visits and goes home."
Third line, "kawaranedo": "ne" is the realis of the negative "zu" and "do" concessive, "though they are unchanged."
Fourth line, "kokoro bakari zo": "in my heart alone," with "zo" an emphatic binding particle. The word that would close the binding after the fifth line is left out, leaving a lingering note.
Fifth line, "sumizome no sode": sleeves of a monk's robe dyed black with ink, ending on a noun. It is the same fifth line as the next poem, 1137.
