Poetry Quote by Kobayashi Issa — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“before the gate --”

“This dewdrop world”

““Never forget:”

“In this world”

“What a strange thing!”

“In the cherry blossom's shade”

“No one here likes a wet dog.”

“Prowling the meanings of a word, prowling the history of a person, no use expecting a flood of light. Human words have no main switch. But all those little kidnaps in the dark. And then the luminous, big, shivering, discandied, unrepentant, barking web of them that hangs in your mind when you turn back to the page you were trying to translate...”

“where do i find self love?'”

“هل تعلم أنك أحيانا ..”

“The poet is a faker / Who's so good at his act / He even fakes the pain / Of pain he feels in fact.”

“Places We Love”
