‘born to’
marlene mountain
面影に花の姿をさき立てて 幾重越え来ぬ峰の白雲（俊成）
Led on and on
by the image of blossoms,
I have crossed peak beyond peak
to find nothing
but white clouds

Who needs Eternity? One day is enough.
All the long day —
Yet not long enough for the skylark,
Singing, singing.
Bashō (1644-1694) (translated by R. H. Blyth), in R. H. Blyth, Haiku, Volume 2: Spring, page 195.

Simply trust:
Do not also the petals flutter down,
Just like that?
Issa (translated by R. H. Blyth), in R. H. Blyth, Haiku, Volume 2: Spring (Hokuseido Press 1950), page 363.
