My life, -
How much more of it remains?
The night is brief.
- Shiki
Over the wintry
forest, winds howl in rage
with no leaves to blow.
- Soseki
Don’t weep, insects –
Lovers, stars themselves,
Must part.
- Issa
autumn winds
in the sliding door's opening
a sharp voice
- Basho
the moon so pure
a wandering monk carries it
across the sand
- Basho
The winter storm
Hid in the bamboo grove
And quieted away.
- Basho
peonies --
hundreds swaying
like a hot bath
MORI Sumio
summer grasses——
the wheels of the locomotive
come to a stop
- YAMAGUCHI Seishi
Under the protection of a big tree,
People's hearts are at rest."
- Taijyu ('big tree' stands for 'the Shogunate')
big tree stands for large cock
How much more of it remains?
The night is brief.
