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

“Real poetry, is to lead a beautiful life. To live poetry is better than to write it.”

“Summer grasses,”

“هَذا الّذي تَعرِفُ البَطْحاءُ وَطْأتَهُ، وَالبَيْتُ يعْرِفُهُ وَالحِلُّ وَالحَرَمُ”

“Pensive they sit, and roll their languid eyes.”

“It is growing cold. Winter is putting footsteps in the meadow. What whiteness boasts that sun that comes into this wood! One would say milk-colored maidens are dancing on the petals of orchids. How coldly burns our sun! One would say its rays of light are shards of snow, one imagines the sun lives upon a snow crested peak on this day. One would say she is a woman who wears a gown of winter frost that blinds the eyes. Helplessness has weakened me. Wandering has wearied my legs.”

“তোমাকে যখন দেখি, তার”

“I sometimes think you despise poetry,' said Phineas.”

“The profoundest of all sensualities”
