      Real haiku is the soul of poetry.

      Anything that is not actually present in one’s heart

      is not haiku.

      —Santōka Taneda

      If we wish to consider haiku

      as composed of perceptions and silences,

      the latter are the more potent for evoking insight and awareness.

      —Robert Spiess
