A Field Of Cotton Poem by Matsuo Basho
A Field Of Cotton
A field of cotton--
as if the moon
had flowered.
Translated by Robert Hass
Just like that: A field of cotton and its metaphoric follow up: as if the moon had flowered. BAM! Just like that, all of a sudden there is magic and beauty, my heart leaps up! 5 Stars full
