Two Haiku by Basho, translated by Robert Hass

[conuly]

Taking a nap,
Feet planted
Against a cool wall

A cold rain starting
And no hat -
So?

What a mood.

[dorchadas]

I looked up that second one and the original runs

笠もなき
われを時雨るるか
こは何と

TIL there's a verb for "to have a cold early winter rain fall"
