In this scene from chapter 41, Illusion, the fifty-two year old Genji still in grief from the death of his beloved wife, Lady Murasaki, burns her letters.

The Second Month had come, and plum trees in bloom and in bud receded into a delicate mist. Catching the bird song of a warbler in the rose plum that had been Murasaki’s especial favorite, Genji went out to the veranda - "The warbler has come again. It does not know That the mistress of its tree is here no more."
