Sometimes I step down into the ravine mirrored by the green rivulet, then again I sit at the ridge on a mighty rock. My mind resembles a lonely cloud no place were it pauses, in a far distance the dealings of the world - what else would I have to search for ? - Hanshan
"Classical Chinese gardens often contain arrangements of miniature trees and rockeries known as Penjing . These creations of carefully pruned trees and rocks are small-scale renditions of the natural landscape. They are often referred to as living sculptures or as three-dimensional poetry. Their artistic composition captures the spirit of nature and distinguishes them from ordinary potted plants."
