From Murasaki Shikibu's poetry collection (Murasaki Shikibu shû)

Someone had drawn on a scroll the unpleasant form of a woman possessed by an evil spirit. Behind the possessed woman, a priest was restraining the husband's former wife, who had appeared as a demon. The husband was trying to subdue the evil spirit by reading a sutra.

Upon seeing the illustrated scroll, I wrote:

Naki hito ni
kagoto wa kakete
wazurau mo
ono ga kokoro no
oni ni ya wa aranu

In his anguish
he has blamed it on his dead wife.
But is it not
the demon in his own heart?
