Hi r/Japanese,
I’m reading Hass’ The Essential Haiku and loved a poem mentioned in his intro to Basho. It’s written as:
An autumn night / don’t think your life / didn’t matter
I’d love to study the original. I found this link and this poem – can someone help confirm if it’s the same?
秋の夜をうしろにしたる法師哉

Thank you!
