Poem:

餘所などに花を贈らば、其の花は開き過ぎしを遣らぬ物也
yoso nado ni hana wo okuraba, sono hana wa hiraki sugishi wo yaranu mono nari
Flowers in full bloom;
An unwelcome gift to the
Host of chanoyu –
How should one hide their distaste
When the alcove is wilting?

Poem #100

茶の湯とはたゞ湯をわかし茶をたてゝのむばかりなる事と知るべし  chanoyu to wa tada yu o wakashi cha o tatete nomu bakari no koto to shiru beshi

The Way of Tea is naught but this:  first you boil water, then you make the tea, and drink it.
