Feels like quite long time has passed
Walking down the street while looking up the moon in the cold air
Another year has passed by

とてつもなく長い時がたった気がする
道を歩きながら寒空に浮かぶ月を見上げる
またもう一年

temple bell's voice

Found instant inspiration in the haiku that goes as follows:


here and there
upon scorched fields
wild violets

"Fairies are one of the most important elements of celtic mythology. They are supernatural beings of Celtic origin, often fatal women, whose figures are an extension of the nymphs and goddesses of antiquity. Knights searching for adventures meet these women with strange powers in the dark and deep forests but also in the castles that stand on their roads. Beneficial or malicious, they often hide their nature under the guise of a virgin in distress in order to test the bravery and virtue of the knights.

Among these fairies, Viviane plays a prominent role. The Lady of the Lake, called Niniène or Niniane in medieval texts, embodies the traditional water fairy. It is she who spirits away the newborn Lancelot to keep him and raises him in her domain of the Lake, sheltered from the world. Once he is knighted, she will always keep an eye on her protégé, whom she will save several times from madness."

"heaven and earth:
neither exists apart from
snow fluttering down"

Kajiwara Hashin was born in 1864 and studied under Kyoshi. Although Hashin is not very well-known as a poet, this particular haiku that he wrote is quite popular worldwide: it was first translated by Miyamori Asataro and later by R. H. Blyth.
