Kiyonobu and Kiyomasu Contrasted

 One life is a long summer; Tall hollyhocks stand proud upon its paths; Little yellow waves of sunlight, Bring scarlet butterflies. 

 Another life is a brief autumn, Fierce storm-rack scrawled with lightning Passed over it Leaving the naked bleeding earth, Stabbed with the swords of the rain.
