The Emperor showed off his new born baby saying that he resembled Genji very much. Genji had a mixed feeling of fear, awe and pleasure. He returned to Nijo and calmed down in his room. It was early summer and the garden was full of wild carnations in full bloom. He broke off a few of them and sent them to Fujitsubo with a poem saying that the paper was weighted with his tears as with the dew of wild carnations.
