“This inn
on the road to Iwanoue
is a cold place to sleep…
Oh monk,
would you please lend me your robes?
The monk’s reply:
Those who have given up the world
wear only a single layer
of moss-rough cloth,
yet not to offer it would be heartless.
Let us sleep together, then.”
A poem/joke by Ono no Komachi from c. 825 — c. 900
