head term with は. Non-は included as secondary.
  Comments:
Aligning with 去る者は日々に疎し. In spite of n-grams, the "grammatically modern" form with は seems to be the best form to learn. Google news is a small, dead draw.  On twitter, 去る者日々に疎し has about 13 hits this year. は is somewhere north of 100. Reference materials (some at least) head with the は form. Imdas has only は.

Could xref both [1] and [2], but it looks like we avoid the double ref in these simple cases?
