No Words

"Among all these things there is real meaning,
Yet when I try to express it,
I become lost in no-words.
"

~T'ao Ch'ien (365-427AD)



"I gather chrysanthemums at the eastern hedgerow,
And silently gaze at the southern mountains.
The mountain is beautiful in the sunset,
And the birds flocking together return home.
Among all these things there is real meaning,
Yet when I try to express it,
I become lost in no-words.
"

~T'ao Ch'ien (365-427AD)
