わか袖は塩干に見えぬ沖の石の
     人こそしらねかはくまもなし
waga sode wa shiohi ni mienu oki no ishi no
hito koso shirane kawaku ma mo nashi
(based on Senzai Wakashū 12:760)

gollark: They're big... square-based pyramids... of rock.
gollark: ... they *what*?
gollark: Shame we can't usefully replicate it on Earth right now.
gollark: How is "some weird battery" anything very interesting? My *watch* has a battery in it rated for 7 years or so.
gollark: Er, referenced, not linked to.
