行く秋のところどころや下り梁

here and there -
downstream fish weirs

Written in 1768.

悲しさや 釣の糸ふく 秋の風
kanashisa ya tsuri no ito fuku aki no kaze

quote
Sadness;
The fishing line trembles
In the autumn wind.

This does not mean he is sad, and then sees the line trembling in the wind; it means that seeing the line trembling in the wind of autumn is in itself sadness — the seeing is the feeling. That is because of all the layers of association it evokes — the withering of things, the ending of things, the certainty of mortality, and yet none of these things are mentioned in the verse, and mentioning them goes too far in explaining it.
That is the suggestiveness of hokku.
Tr. and comment by David Coomler


Ah, grief and sadness !
The fishing-line trembles
In the autumn breeze.
Tr. Blyth


sadness -
a fishing-line blows
in the autumn wind
Tr. Haldane


A sorrow --
Curving a fishing line
The autumn wind.
Tr. Nelson/Saito


While feeling sad --
a fishing line being blown
by the autumn wind.
Tr. Sawa/ Shiffert


Written in 1773.
. Yosa Buson 与謝蕪村 in Edo .
