死ねない手がふる鈴をふるthe hand that cannot die shakes the bell, shakes it

「老遍路」と前書がある。年老いた遍路が、鈴を振りながら行く。死ねない手が、ふるえる手が、鈴をふる。重ねられた「ふる」に、老いの巡礼の音が鳴りつづける。Headed "the old pilgrim." An aged pilgrim goes on his way, ringing his bell. The hand that cannot die, the trembling hand, shakes the bell. In the doubled word for "shake" the sound of an old man's pilgrimage keeps on ringing.
