The Best Season


Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
By Wu Men (Hui-k'ai)
(1183 - 1260)
English version by Stephen Mitchell
 
Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life.
