"I wanted to go off to the eastern cliff--

how many years now I've planned the trip?

Yesterday, I pulled myself up by the vines,

but wind and fog forced me to stop halfway.

The path was narrow, and my clothes kept catching,

the moss so spongy I couldn't move my feet,

So I stopped under this red cinnamon tree.

I guess I'll lay my head on a cloud and sleep."

- Han Shan
