Old Pond
Old pond
Frog leaping
Splash!
–Matsuo Basho (translated by Cid Corman)
The old pond;
A frog jumps in —
The sound of the water.
— Matsuo Basho (translated by R. H. Blythe)
Water
A Clear Waterfall
A clear waterfall;
Into the ripples
Fall green pine needles.
— Matsuo Basho (translated by R. H. Blythe)
