Fujiwara no Tadaie offers his arm, Poem 67 -- Fujiwara no Tadaie offers his arm to a lady-in-waiting.  She declines with a verse.  The image shows Tadaie outside a screen, and the Lady Suwo is just inside, hidden from sight:
:If I had made thy proffered arm
:A pillow for my head
:
:For but the moment's time, in which
:A summer's dream had fled,
:What would the world have said? -- translation by Porter
