Hanshan Quotes

• When people look for the road in the clouds
  The cloud road disappears
  The mountains are tall and steep
  The streams are wide and still
  Green mountains ahead and behind
  White clouds to east and west
  If you want to find the cloud road
  Seek it within

• You find a flower half-buried in leaves,
  And in your eye its very fate resides.
  Loving beauty, you caress the bloom;
  Soon enough, you'll sweep petals from the floor.
  Terrible to love the lovely so,
  To count your own years, to say I'm old,
  To see a flower half-buried in leaves
  And come face to face with what you are.

  Hanshan

  Death, Flower, Eye
