lnhammer When in loneliness
I depart my hermitage
and gaze about,
everywhere it is the same
twilit evening in autumn.

Original by Ryôzen, another monk we know hardly anything about. It's grammatically ambiguous whether there's a full stop after onaji ("same"); since English normally has punctuation, I had to chose a reading.sabishisa ni
