Product details

Clouds Now and Then is a short, delicately scored work which quietly evokes the reflective mood of a haiku by the 17th century poet, Matsua Basho (1644-1694). The poem, as translated by Geoffrey Bownas and Anthony Thwaite in The Penguin Book of Japanese Verse, reads:

Clouds now and then
Givine men relief
From moon-viewing.

Meale has written: 'Moon-viewing is practised by the Japanese for aesthetic and contemplative purposes. It is typical of this race which possesses an acute awareness and love of nature. The poem has many meanings.'
