The day is so long
That even noisy sparrows
Fall stragely silent.
日が永い
にぎやかな雀たちも
めずらしく静まり返っている
（放哉）
鳩がなくまの昼の屋根が重たい
I feel the roof in the noon heavy
In a while
For doves to pause to sing.
■I'm impressed by both these works because they express silence by common birds. I think Wright's haiku is about in the summer solstice and Hohsai's has a languid atmosphere in late spring. I'm interested in that they express silence in their scene by common birds' silence.
