Scope and Contents

This work is a Young's modification of a Haiku by Basho that can be transilliterated: Matsushima Ya - A A Matshusima Ya - Matsushima Ya. Matshusima is a small archipelago in northern Japan, Ya is one of the abstract, hieretic words used in Haiku according to complex rules, and A (pronounced Ah) is an aparently universal, spontaneous exclamation used as commonly in contemporary America as it was in 17th century Japan. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
