     From: Jia Yi (賈誼), c. 174 BCE, The Owl (《鵩鳥賦》). Translated by Burton Watson.

     Yúnzhēng yǔjiàng, jiūcuò xiāngfēn. Dàjūn bōwù, yǎngyà wúyín. [Pinyin]

     The clouds rise up; the rains come down,
     In confusion inextricably joined.
     The Great Potter fashions all creatures,
     Infinite, boundless, limit unknown.
