18.28

"The great furnace smelts gold; / Sudden thunder startles the spring. / Plants and trees flourish, / Their luster daily renewed. / Without expending an iota of effort, / He captured the celestial qilin. / With complete authority over killing and giving life, he attains ease; / Illumining through a thousand ages, like the icy moon disc. / 'His talk was severed into two pieces'—the eye within the phrase is alive; / 'A dragon's head and a snake's tail'—pointing to a finger with a finger. / The blind patch-robed monk who collided with an exposed pillar / Had his throat choked off, leaving no breath to exhale. / Hesitating and deliberating, separated by ten thousand mountains; / A chattering tongue three thousand miles away!"
