New day

New day

Embrace of colours,

breath, energy,

Age renews.

"Written at Random"

There’s nothing I do but with ease when I’m at leisure;

Awake, I find east window reddened in sunlight.

Nature contemplated calmly has its own pleasure;

I enjoy four seasons with all men in delight.

Law is formless but reigns over heaven and earth;

Thoughts assume various shapes and change like wind and cloud,

Wealth can’t seduce me; poverty won’t reduce mirth.

A man who attains this of his deeds may be proud.
