“Incomparable beauty, the snow
If only it could wait until the autumn leaves fall”
-From English translations of Waka Poems by Minosuke Noguchi
(1875-1972).
Noguchi immigrated from Japan to the U.S. in 1898; for 42 years,
he farmed in northeast Colorado, then moved in 1948 with his wife to upstate
New York.
