終日尋春不見春,芒鞋踏破嶺頭雲;
歸來偶把梅花嗅,春在枝頭已十分。

Looking for Spring
Wujin Zang
(Years unknown, Tang Dynasty)
English translation: John Balcom
The whole day spent looking for spring
but not seeing spring;
Straw sandals worn out
on cloud-covered peaks.
Return to casually sniff
the plum blossoms;
Spring is already fully
on the branch tips.
── from Lengyanjing Zongtong
(Mastering the School Tenets of the Shurangama Sutra)
