R. H. Blyth: Two Views of a Paper Lantern, Pen Nib, & Eel Catcher

 Two Views of a Paper Lantern (Kano, Nov. 1878)




Yet it still remains true that the squeaking of the nib I write with it has more meaning and less error in it than anything I can write down.
     R. H. Blyth, Haiku, Volume 1, pg 195





a long day--
the eel catcher writes pictures
on the water
     Issa
     translated by David G. Lanoue





best,
Don
