虛堂和尚語錄 7.111

7.111

發揮多古跡，優彼色絲辭，逸少觀鵝處，元暉縱墨時，
室虛蛟自觸，神久樹生悲，得處何機感，尋披當爾思。

Expressing much of the ancients' traces, / Excelling the words woven of coloured silk: / The place where Wang Yishao observed geese, / The moment Mi Yuanhui gave rein to his ink. / The room being empty, the kraken bumps [its horns] on its own; / With spirit lasting long, the trees bring forth sorrow. / What trigger and response brought about this attainment? / As you unroll and search through it, you should ponder this.
