“Falling mist flies together with the wild ducks;
The waters of autumn are of one colour with the sky.”

“The blue hills are of themselves blue hills;
The white clouds are of themselves white clouds.”

A bird sings, and the mountain holds yet more mystery.

Spring comes and the grass grows by itself”
