Matsuo Basho Flower Quotations

The temple bell stops but I still hear the sound coming out of the flowers.

How much I desire! Inside my little satchel, the moon, and flowers

Come, see the true flowers of this pained world.

For a lovely bowl Let us arrange these flowers... For there is no rice

Come out to view / the truth of flowers blooming / in poverty.

How I long to see among dawn flowers, the face of God.

There is nothing you can see that is not a flower; there is nothing you can think that is not the moon.
