In darkness the One appears as uniform; in the light the One appears
as manifold.

The great earth makes herself hospitable with the help of the grass.


绿叶的生与死乃是旋风的急骤的旋转，它的更广大的旋转的圈子乃是在天上

这面纱等候着在夜间卸去。

The dust receives insult and in return offers her flowers.


根是地下的枝。
枝是空中的根。

缘在老树的周身。
The touch of the nameless days clings to my heart like mosses round
the old tree.


回声嘲笑她的原声，以证明她是原声。

I cast my own shadow upon my path, because I have a lamp that has not
been lighted.
