Sharpening the senses.

-- Smell, see, hear, feel, think and understand. --

Into pine scented wind
falling foliage or refreshing
sounds of water.

Scattering leaves in
pine scented wind or cooling
sounds of water.
_ _ _ _ _

-- Quid mavis ?! --

"Frigidos sonus
aquae an in piniventum
cadentia folia ?!"

"Recreantes sonus
aquae an in pinivento
spargentia folia ?!"

Translation: 白狐

[Matsuo Bashô #957, summer haiku.]
mátsu kazé no / ochíba kà mizú no / otó suzúshi.

"of pine-tree wind / fall(-ing/-en)-leaves or of water /
sound(s) (so) cooling/refreshing."

In Japanese this haiku is either a question or a listing of alternatives.
So I made it into a question in Latin and a listing in English.
In Latin "an" becomes "atque" and "frigidos" becomes "frigidi"
in order to make it into a listing of alternatives.

in piniventum/-o = short for > in ventum/-o pinuum odoris.
quid malis*/mavis = what do you prefer ?! >
what makes it do it for you . . .

Sorry, my Greek and Roman wires got crossed > mallon = better !!
