Poems from two different cultures. See how they culturally depict their nature...

Alfred Tennyson, an English poet:

Flower in a crannied wall,
I pluck you out of
The crannies
I hold you here, root
And all, in my hand
Little flower—but if
I could understand
What you are, root and
All, and all in all
I should know what
God and man is.

Haiku by Basho, a Japanese poet:

When I look carefully
I see the nazuna blooming
By the hedge.
