7.49

Holding to the day, hills and valleys are harbored within; / With dark functioning, merit is not yet recorded. / An earthenware basin consumes the ancient seal incense; / A stone couch keeps company with returning clouds. / Wonder-filled events are known to be just like this; / For the remainder of life, nothing is heard. / Lamp-snuffs smile coldly upon each other; / How could they make up for even the slightest fraction?
