Brother; keep that in mind and rejoice。
Beauty is sweet to us; because she dances to the same fleeting tune with our lives。
Knowledge is precious to us; because we shall never have time to plete it。

But earth’s flowers of illusion are kept eternally fresh by death。
Brother; keep that in mind and rejoice。

I have no care in my heart; all my belongings I have left far behind me。
I run across hills and dales; I wander through nameless lands—because I am hunting for the golden stag。
