Matsuo Bashō
“Dew-drops –
how better wash away
world's dust?
露とくとく
試みに浮世
すすがばや ”
Matsuo Bashō, On Love and Barley: Haiku of Basho

Ryōkan
“When? When?
How eagerly I've been waiting.
Now that you are here
What more do I want?
いついつと
待ちにし人は
来たりけり
今は会ひ見て
何か思はむ”
Ryōkan, Zen Fool Ryokan
tags: haiku, love, zen

Matsuo Bashō
“You the butterfly –
I, Chuang Tzu's
dreaming heart.
君や蝶
我や荘子が
夢心”
Matsuo Bashō, On Love and Barley: Haiku of Basho

Ryōkan
“Long long years,
Yes, endlessly long years,
Being together face to face,
Never asking the moon the time to go.
向かいゐて
千代も八千代も
見てしがな
空行く月の
こと問はずとも”
Ryōkan, Zen Fool Ryokan

Søren Kierkegaard
“If you marry, you will regret it; if you do not marry, you will also regret it; if you marry or do not marry, you will regret both; Laugh at the world’s follies, you will regret it, weep over them, you will also regret that; laugh at the world’s follies or weep over them, you will regret both; whether you laugh at the world’s follies or weep over them, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it, believe her not, you will also regret that; believe a woman or believe her not, you will regret both; whether you believe a woman or believe her not, you will regret both. Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will also regret that; hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the sum and substance of all philosophy.”
Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or: A Fragment of Life
