"Devotion" by Robert Frost

Utagawa Hiroshige

Devotion

The heart can think of no devotion

Greater than being shore to the ocean --

Holding the curve of one position,

Counting an endless repetition.

-- Robert Frost

Hiroshige: "Night Rain at Karasaki," from the series "Eight Views ofŌ-mi"

Utagawa Hiroshige

All night long in the storm, 

with the waves driving high, 

the moon hangs in the branches 

of Shiogoshi’s pines 

-- Saigyo
