THE WORK OF AN IDLE MAN

As the work of an idle man
is lacking in nothing,
every single day is a series of joys.
The true form of true joy
is such
and is nothing other than it.
It is like Mr.Kim's son is
Grumgling, and Mr.jung's son
is sleeping.

As white cloulds float
away in a cool breeze.
green mountains are
revealing themselves.
