『心偈』55続

柳宗悦『心偈』

 

 There is the real newness within the old and moreover the new.

A great person of the past called this as 'eternal now'.

'eternal now' don't have the difference between old and new.

How much valuable does it have  the newness for the oldness or the oldness for the newness?

The thing that has eternal worth don't permit the discrimination of the time.

And then it is the old and moreover the new.

The new that isn't the old don't say the new at all.

Fashion is essentially different from the newness.

The life of fashion is short.

The truly new isn't flowed by the time.

Sometimes it is forgotten by the people,then it comes back again.

It doesn't have the death.

Let's go on the next poem.
