Thought folks might get a kick out of this website:
www.bopsecrets.org/gateway/...-frog.htm
It has 31 different translations of one of Basho's haikus. The range is so big, between the various pieces...you can hardly recognize them as being the same poem.
I guess the only way to truly tell is study Japanese!
take care,
Jon

Wed, June 10, 2009 - 10:35 AMJon, this is so cool! Reading down the page is a meditation in itself.
Thanks for this.
In a way, it makes me think of the film 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould. -
