I hiked into the forest below Mount Daitain to visit the Taoist priest who wasn’t there. Instead, I found wet peach blossoms on the ground, wild bamboo rushing in the mist, waterfalls hanging on the mountainsides, and deer watching from the shadows of pines, Nobody rang the temple bell, but I heard a dog barking in the rain.
犬吠水声中,桃花带露浓。 树深时见鹿,溪午不闻钟。 野竹分青霭,飞泉挂碧峰。 无人知所去,愁倚两三松。
