" "

From the side, a whole range; from the end, a single peak;
far, near, high, low, no two parts alike.
Why can't I tell the true shape of Lu-shan?
Because I myself am in the mountain.

O the clear moon's speckless, silvery night!
When filling thy cup, be sure to fill it quite!
Strive not for frothy fame or bubble wealth!
A passing dream—
A flashing flint—
A shadow's flight! O what is knowledge, fine and superfine?
To innocent and simple joys resign!
To be myself and in contentment face
A valley of clouds—
a sweet-toned ch'in—
A jug of wine!
