"The phrase arrives but the meaning does not arrive:
From the ancient ravine, cold springwater surges;
The green pine is cold with dew.
The meaning arrives but the phrase does not arrive:
On rocks grows rootless grass;
In the mountains hide motionless clouds.
Both meaning and phrase arrive:
Heaven dawn-lit alongside white clouds;
Water flowing together with the bright moon.
Neither meaning nor phrase arrives:
In the blue sky, not a single cloud;
On green water, wind and waves arise."
