My Gate of Grass by Chris Armytage™
© 2010 Chris Armytage, Fine Art Photography, Daylesford
*Far-off is the place I chose to live.
High hills make for silent tongues.
Gibbons screech in valley cold
My gate of grass blends with the cliff.
A roof of thatch among the pines,
I dig a pool, feed it from the stream.
No time now to think about the world,
The years go by, shredding ferns.
- Han-shan, The Master of Cold Mountain*
