As you like it:

When the frog meets the pond, when you speak,
Whether you whisper or shout, it’s
— the sound of existence.

— Bashō no yōna, Thoughts on Basho’s most well-known haiku

Whether you whisper or shout,
When you speak, like the frog and the pond, it’s
— the sound of existence.

To write, to be, or not to be, one must write to be.

Fragile as dew on a blade of grass,
Heavy as a stone tossed in a lake,
To be heard one must speak
— Bashō no yōna, Thoughts on Basho’s most well-known haiku
