A poem from One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each (Hyakunin isshu

, 百人一首) by Fujiwara no Teika.

Translated by Peter MacMillan.

77. Retired Emperor Sutoku

Like water rushing down
the river rapids,
we may be parted
by a rock, but in the end
we will be one again.

Finally comes a beautiful peom I can read without looking up the dictionary.👻 But it is still somehow hard for me to imagine how can "water" rushes down the "river rapids", because in my opinion, they might be the same thing.🙆
