Barn's burnt down -- Now I can see the brightest moon

What is your insight about this? This is the first activity we did in our Literatire World Masterpieces subject. It's a quote, or rather a haiku from Masahide. This is not the exact quote given to us by our cute professor [lol] but it's almost the same. I read and reread the phrase to decipher the meaning and then I remember one story about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. watson when they go camping one day. It is something about how different people view life and it's surroundings. The story is only a joke but it's really worth reading. My insight about the quote is just like the one in the sherlock holmes-watson story. It's about how you perceive life. Our professor's and other classmates explanation about this is that after having a tragedy in Masahide's life, he still see hope, while looking at the moon. Isn't that cute? :)
