"The birds have vanished into the sky and now the last cloud drains away. We sit together the mountain and me, until only the mountain remains."
"I could have been a great immortal, but I loved wine too much."
"Since Life is but a Dream, Why toil to no avail?"
"I wake with the moon on my pillow—it’s frost, I suppose."
