He paid a visit to Princess Asagao, whose name meant "the morning glory." Her attitude was very stiff and formal. He came back and lay awake with disappointment. He had the shutters raised early and stood looking out at the morning mist. He broke off a morning glory in the garden and sent it to Asagao with a poem saying, "I wonder if the flower has been taken past its bloom".
