From two more Chinese Poems (in the mountains)

"We sit together, the mountain and me,

until only the mountain remains."

Li Po, tr. Sam Hamill

"This year turning sixty-four, elements

About to dissolve within me- the Path!

...No need

To shave my head again, or wash.

Just set the firewood flaming- that's enough."

Nangaku, Gentai, tr. Lucien Stryk
