When she was suffering and feeling sick, she did not want the wind blowing on her so she was always secluded in her room with the blinds down; during this period she looked at the withering of a picked cherry blossom and read this.

Notes
- Progression of spring
- The exact meaning of haru no yukue is debated. The two most common opinions are represented by Takeoka and Katagiri. Takeoka's explanation is that being shut inside, she is not aware of the progression of spring through the various key points (blooming plums, scattering cherries, etc). Katagiri interprets it as the result or endpoint of spring.
