trampling and entangling
the autumn bush-clover
cannot be seen with the eye,
and yet its sound is so clear.

(Original author unknown.) In the last line, "and yet" is interpretive, though some sort of contrastive is clearly intended, as is "is." The implication in the first lines that rutting stags are in some sense out of kilter with the natural world is ... interesting.akihagi o
