8.214

枝藤結伴得游娛。懷習難寧尋舊居。雲水夢思孤榻穩。
山林眼味四窓虛。秋衣未絮怯繁雨。
午飯無鹽甘軟蔬。老境端來償底志。道同巢鳥與淵魚。

With staff and vine as companions, I find joy in rambling; / Long-held habits are hard to quiet, so I seek my old dwelling. / In cloud-and-water dreams, the solitary daybed is secure; / Mountain and forest delight the eye, the four windows hollow and clear. / Autumn garments not yet padded, I fear the frequent rains; / The midday meal without salt, sweet are the tender greens. / For what aim indeed does old age come to fulfill? / The Way is the same for the nesting bird and the deep-pool fish.
