The Snail Raises His Horns

from Haiku Music - Volume 3 by George L Smyth

/

about

A snail
Raising its horns:
Edge of the well.

This is a haiku by accomplished Japanese haiku poet and novelist Natsume Soseki, author of Kokoro, Botchan, I Am a Cat and his unfinished work Light and Darkness.

Depending on how you look at them, snails can be the most boring creatures in the world or the most fascinating. When I look at the images of Ukrainian photographer Vyacheslav Mishchenko I tend toward the latter, so the simple act of a snail raising its horns beside water can become something quite magical.

The Snail Raises His Horns is written for Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon, Horn, Trombone, Violin, Viola, and Cello.
