English and Scottish Ballads (The Poetry Bookshelf)

“Wild as it was, it was hard for me to get rid of the associations of the settlements. Any steady and monotonous sound, to which I did not distinctly attend, passed for a sound of human industry.... Our minds anywhere, when left to themselves, are always thus busily drawing conclusions from false premises.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“An old pond—
a frog tumbles in—
the sound of water.”
—Matsuo Basho (1644–1694)
