Commentary: 34 Rumor and Suspicion

Having resolved to go to the prince's residence, Izumi Shikibu thought that court service was not what she truly wanted at this stage, and that she would rather live in a cave; and yet if more sorrows came, what then? Still, if she were near, she could see how her parents and siblings fared and settle the future of those who were her ties to the world, and so she made up her mind. Until she went, so that no idle rumors might reach his ears, she had her people tell the men who wrote to her that she was away, and sent them no replies. Then a letter came from the prince. It said many things, such as "What a fool I was to rely on you," and ended only with "Very well, then." Her heart sank. There had been many groundless rumors before, but she had let them pass, thinking that what was untrue could not be helped. This time, however, he spoke in earnest, and since some seemed to have caught wind of her resolve, she feared she would become a laughingstock; she was so grieved she could not answer. When the prince wrote again, "Why do you not reply? It makes me think it was true after all. How quickly your heart changes. People told me things; I did not believe them, and only said, if that is how you feel," her heart eased a little, and wanting to know his true feelings, she thought, "If you truly think so."
The woman is Izumi Shikibu, daughter of Ōe no Masamune and, as the wife of Tachibana no Michisada, Governor of Izumi, mother of Koshikibu no Naishi. The Prince of the Dazaifu is Prince Atsumichi, fourth son of Emperor Reizei, so called because he served as Governor-General of the Dazaifu.
When Izumi Shikibu's "Ima no ma ni kimi kimasanan koishi tote na mo aru mono o ware yukan ya wa" arrived, the prince sent back this poem.
After the poem he added, "Now even this has made me angry." Izumi Shikibu could see that he was teasing her, having noticed her distress, but it still hurt, and she wrote, "It is still most unjust. Somehow I wish I could show you my heart."

The opening lines mean "you now, of rumors rising about your name," taking up her "with my name to think of." The third line means "you have come to care," with an auxiliary of sudden realization.
The lower verses mean "I see that such a heart depends on the person," where "hito kara" means depending on whom one is dealing with, sealed by an emphatic construction. With other men, he teases, she never cared for her reputation, yet with him she suddenly guards her name; weaving in the rumors of her suitors, he pretends his doubts are not yet cleared.
