From the early section of the love poems of the Kokinoshu.

In the autumn fields
mingled with the pampas grass
flowers are blooming
should my love too, spring forth
or shall we never meet?

Beware The Pampas Grass

[razz.livejournal.com]

I like that poem. But if your love ever should spring forth, you must bring it back into yourself at once, because you'll need it much more than anybody you'll ever meet in the pampas grass. But then again, there's no shame in sharing. And be careful not to lose anything in all that -- I mean pampas grass can get rather tall.
