 Red Cliffs and Green Valleys

"Faraway among tens of thousands of blue mountains,

Red cliffs and green valleys are deep and impenetrable,

Through the pine trees the wind brings the sound of

a waterfall, from the edge of the sky,

And smells of flowers mixed in clouds waft through a cave..."

~ Wang Meng
