To all, If my translations are not spot on and can be improved upon, please feel free to say so. Quite often the translations are done within a very short frame of time. There can be different translations of the same piece. as say the Genji no Monogatari (Tale of Genji) shows, so a translation may be unfinished or poor or inadequate. But one must strive towards conveying as precise a tone of the author or the moment or circumstance.
