At the beginning of Robert Bly’s book, “Morning Glory,” he had a version of Basho’s short poem, Morning Glory. Interesting how the different translators view it:
The Morning Glory also
The morning glory also
turns out
not be my friend
translated by Robert Hass
The Morning Glory
Ah! the morning-glory!
‘Tis not my friend, either.
translator unknown
The Morning Glory
Another thing
that will never
be my friend.
