“Barefooted and naked of breast,
I mingle with the people of the world.
My clothes are ragged and dust-laden,
and I am ever blissful.
I use no magic to extend my life;
Now, before me, the dead trees become alive.”

(Nyogen Senzaki/ Paul Reps in Zen Flesh, Zen Bones)

“Play, play every day, play and play and play away, and then play
the play you played to-day, the play you play every day, play it
and play it. Play it and remember it and ask to play it. Play it, and
play it and play away. Certainly every one wants you to play,
every one wants you to play away, to play every day, to play and
play, to play the play you play every day, to play and remember it
and ask to play it and play it and to play away and to play every
day and to-day and all day. That’s the way to play, to play every
day…. “

Dem gärenden Geschlechte die Wünsche nach,
Und wild ist und verzagt und kalt von
Sorgen das Leben der Armen immer.”

“Der Winter mag scheiden, der Frühling vergehn,
der Sommer mag verwelken, das Jahr verwehn,
Du kehrst mir zurück, gewiß, du wirst mein,
ich hab es versprochen, ich harre treulich dein.”
