naviarhaiku234 – when the cicadas cease

I found this haiku by Baijaku in the beautiful essay Lafcadio Hearn and Haiku, by Cor van den Heuvel http://www.modernhaiku.org/essays/hearnandhaiku.html

Patrick Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904) was a writer, translator, and journalist. In the four books written during his time as a professor of English literature at the Imperial University of Tokyo —Exotics and Retrospective (1898), In Ghostly Japan (1899), Shadowings (1900), and A Japanese Miscellany (1901)—he described the customs, religion, and literature of Japan.
