Daily quote


Emptiness is a long story
That swallows up heaven and earth
A splash of ink turns into two dragons
Stray clouds become an azure dog

Lurking in my bowl: mountains, rivers
Wheeling through my breast: a sun, a moon
A fierce wind shreds the ancient mists
Grasses and trees bow before its snap and snarl

 



Shih Shu (17th c. ?-18th c.), The name Shih-shu appears to be a pseudonym used one time only for the poet's contributions to a single text, known in modern times as the T'ien-t'ai san sheng erh ho shih chi ( Anthology of the Poems of the Three Sages of T'ien-t'ai and Their Two Harmonizers ).
