山居十三首(其十二)

日月如飛鳥,乾坤似轉丸;
浮生忙裏度,誰向靜中看。

Thirteen Poems on Life in the Mountains (12)
Hanshan Deqing (1546 - 1623, Ming Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang

The sun and moon like flying birds,
The universe a rotating orb;
A whole life lived in vain,
Who has ever looked into the quietude.

── from Hanshan Laoren Mengyou Ji (Collection of Old Man Hanshan's Dream Travels)
