The more the shades around deepen, the more the ends approach and the more one understands the true meaning of life, that it is a dream;
and we begin to understand the failure of everyone to grasp it, for they only attempted to get meaning out of the meaningless.
To get reality out of a dream is boyish enthusiasm.
"Everything is evanescent, everything is changeful"-- knowing this, the sage gives up both pleasure and pain and becomes a witness of this panorama (the universe) without attaching himself to anything.

from Thousand Island Park (June 1895)
