宏智禪師廣錄 9.23

9.23

眼睛活髑髏乾。妙在離微轉處看。魚潛水而秋痕愈碧。
鶴臥松而月夢猶寒。應呼之神居谷。
隨色之珠走盤。影響黏誰眉得用。斵泥餘地鼻無漫。

Eyes alive, skull dry; / The marvel is seen where subtle nuances shift. / A fish dives into water and the autumn traces become even more emerald; / A crane perches in the pine and its moonlit dream remains cold. / The spirit responding to the call abides in the valley; / The pearl adapting to color rolls on the platter. / On whom do shadows and echoes cling? The eyebrows find their function; / Chipping away the plaster leaving room to spare, the nose is uninjured.
