pure love
1806 44years old lived in Edo city.
Issa
丘の雉鷺の身持をうらやむか
oka no kiji sagi no mimochi wo urayamu ka
David’s English
hilltop pheasant
are you jealous of the heron's
style?
David's comment
More literally, Issa wonders if the pheasant is jealous "of the way the heron carries himself" (sagi no mimochi).

純情の恋あり沼の悪所にも
junjyou no koi ari numa no akusyo nimo
there is pure love
even in the swamp of red light
