You ask my thoughts
through the long night?
I spent it listening
to the heavy rain
beating against the windows.

-Izumi Skikibu, (b. 976AD)

“The fish trap exists because of the fish. 
Once you catch the fish you can forget the trap. 
The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit. 
Once you catch the rabbit, you can forget the snare. 
Words exist because of meaning. 
Once you get the meaning, you can forget the words. 
Where can I find someone to speak with
who has forgotten words?”

― Zhuangzi, Chuang Tsu: Inner Chapters
Chinese Philosopher 286BC-369BC
