(The one to speak was) Chūjō, who presumed (to herself that if anyone has something to wish for, then) surely myself! “[I] was saying to [your] image in the mirror-cake, ‘(your thousand-year image) appeared from earlier,’ and so on. As for prayers for myself, how much of a boon (could I possibly ask)?” [she] continued in this vein.’ (Genji monogatari, ‘Hatsune’, Shinpen Zenshū, vol. 22, p. 144)
