Basho & Hemingway Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

Basho & Hemingway



I ponder several times
over Basho's Haiku,

"The temple bell stops-
but the sound keeps coming
out of the flowers." *

I surmise he was
Six feet underground when
He heard above sound.

It was for both a contrecoup
for whom the bells tolled.
A sort of ego contredance.

~~~

*Basho (1644-94)
(translated by Robert Bly)
