 JDS for example.  His most intolerable posturing (or, if you like,
 most of his intolerable posturing) involves eastern poetry and
 enlightenment.  I don't see where being curmudgeonly and conceited is
 commensurate with being elightened or even being on your way to
 enlightenment.  It don't even see where being mysterious is part of
 being enlightened.  That's part of the *image* of being enlightened. 
 Probably the same sort of thing that Sato objected to in the
 misleading translation.

I was just wondering if you could really translate haiku.  Like it would have 
to be either read in Japanese, or written in English to begin with, or it 
just wouldn't work...
