I love the Fiizgerald translation	by Masked Ufie	2007-07-27 03:51:21
Have done ever since I found it on my parents' bookshelves when I was about nine years old. And when Thyself with shining Foot shall pass Among the Guests Star-scatter'd on the Grass, And in thy joyous Errand reach the Spot Where I made one---turn down an empty Glass! Rendering Japanese haiku into an English 5-7-5 is often very hard work, and rarely satisfactory. I write them in 5-7-5, but enjoy reading the masters when well rendered without the extra syllables or contraints that forcing them into the conventional form imposes. And the nearest in English would, I believe, be 3-5-3 (given that the Japanese version of a syllable isn't the same thing).
