My heart in middle age found the Way.
And I came to dwell at the foot of this mountain.
When the spirit moves, I wander alone
Amid beauty that is all for me....
I will walk till the water checks my path,
Then sit and watch the rising clouds –
And some day meet an old wood-cutter
And talk and laugh and never return.
中岁颇好道,晚家南山陲。
兴来每独往,胜事空自知。
行到水穷处,坐看云起时。
偶然值林叟,谈笑无还期。
