THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 225 by HAN SHAN

First Line: THE GREAT SEA HAS NO LIMIT
Last Line: IN THE OPEN IT SHINES WITHOUT LIMIT
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; FOOD & EATING; SEA; OCEAN;

The Great Sea has no limit
fishes and dragons by the billion
everyone eating someone else
busy stupid lumps of flesh
because the mind never stops
delusions rise like mist
the moon of our nature is clear and bright
in the open it shines without limit
