Basho wrote two earlier versions of this haiku. I included all three in calligraphy style. The shapes of the calligraphies seem to suggest the locusts' trill falling on to the stone.

Yet another beautiful visual - this gives me a sense of aloneness or isolation, all but the trill....

I found in my dictionary that the westerners are not fond of cicada's trill. Is it true?
I don't know, that is not something that I am aware of.
