All along this road
not a single soul - only
autumn evening comes
Heard, not seen,
the camellia poured rainwater
when it leaned
This dark autumn
old age settles down on me
like heavy clouds or birds
not a single soul - only
autumn evening comes
Heard, not seen,
the camellia poured rainwater
when it leaned
This dark autumn
old age settles down on me
like heavy clouds or birds
- Basho (translated by Sam Hamill)
