1. To the eastern grove where a spring rises
    I’ve come from afar to meet the monk;
    Where rocks form shallows in the cold river,
    And the moon sets on the empty mountains.
    Between dreams I listen to the crisp currents,
    My cares washed away by the clear ripples;
    To be active or passive is never by design—
    Only a transcendent mind can understand.
    —  Liu Ch’ang-ch’ing (709-780)
