“Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.”
—Robert Frost

Sitting alone by folded rocks, Mist swirling even at noon, Here, inside my room, it’s dark. Mind is bright, clear of sound. Through the shining gate in dream. Back by the stone bridge, mind returns. Where now the things that troubled me? Wind-blown gourd rattling in the tree.
The dreamer fears loss of that which it always is.
No/thing.
Consciousness can only survive in the dream.
"My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep. The more I give thee, the more I have, for both are infinite," wrote William Shakespeare in Romeo & Juliet.
Speech: “Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow”
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (from Macbeth, spoken by Macbeth)
“Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.”
Wikipedia - Longmen wrote:In Chinese mythology, Longmen (lit. The Dragon Gate) is located at the top of a waterfall cascading from a legendary mountain. The legend states that while many carp swim upstream against the river's strong current, few are capable or brave enough for the final leap over the waterfall. If a carp successfully makes the jump, it is transformed into a powerful dragon.[1] The legend is so famous that throughout China, a common saying is that "a student facing his examinations is like a carp attempting to leap the Dragon Gate."
I’m used to living in some hidden, shaded, mountain place, but once in a while I walk straight into the Kuo-ch’ing Temple, and sometimes I pay a call on old Feng Kan, or go to see that honorable sir, Shih Te, the foundling. But then I come home, alone, to my cold cliff. No one’s talk makes perfect harmony with mine. I search a stream that has no source. The spring dried up, but the stream water’s still flowing.
