edit

The WAM tool apparently doesn't count the words contained in templates, so in the interim I'm moving this to the talk page, and will add it back at a later date, probably when I've got sources for the OJ and translation. (BTW, I know the translation is dogshit.) Hijiri 88 (やや) 13:26, 19 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

That magnolia,
which my lord
doth bear,
verily, it resembles
a verdant umbrella of silk.
