100 The cloud stood humbly in a corner of the sky. The morning crowned it with splendour. 101 The dust receives insult and in return offers her flowers. 102 Do not linger to gather flowers to keep them, but walk on, for flowers will keep themselves blooming all your way. 103 Roots are the branches down in the earth. Branches are roots in the air. 104 The music of the far-away summer flutters around the Autumn seeking its former nest. 105 Do not insult your friend by lending him merits from your own pocket. 106 The touch of the nameless days clings to my heart like mosses round the old tree. 107 The echo mocks her origin to prove she is the original. |
