Matsuo Basho

Here you will find the Poem In this world of ours, of poet Matsuo Basho

In this world of ours,

Yo no naka wa kutte hako shite nete okite 
Sate sono ato wa shinuru bakari zo 


In this world of ours, 
We eat only to cast out, 
Sleep only to wake, 
And what comes after all that 
Is simply to die at last.
