That is because Sanetomo's poems are not only skillful but powerful, discreet, and influential, and the points that they do not follow the trend and adjust to others were quite different from those of the curious people or dead poem composers, and if he had not been a thoughtful person, such powerful poems as Sanetomo's could not have been created.
何故と申すに實朝の歌はただ器用といふのではなく、力量あり見識あり威勢あり、時流に染まず世間に媚びざる処、例の物数奇連中や死に歌よみの公卿たちととても同日には論じがたく、人間として立派な見識のある人間ならでは、實朝の歌の如き力ある歌は詠みいでられまじく候。
