Question

what do you notice about the first and third lines of the haiku by basho? what was basho trying to do?

Answer 1

The third line returns to the image of silence in the first line. But the silence is slightly different. In the first line, Basho describes a silent pond. In the third line, he writes, simply, “silence.” Because the pond has now returned to silence after the frog splash, this silence seems more significant than the first.
