Zhuang Zhou dreamt he was a butterfly. <br />The butterfly at waking became Zhuang Zhou. <br />One thing evolves into another. <br />Myriad things are just so. <br />Thus the Peng Lai waters, you know, <br />Return to become a stream clear and shallow. <br />The man at the Green Gate planting melons <br />Was Marquis of East Mountain a while ago. <br />Wealth and honors being as elusive as this... <br />Why must you chase after them so? <br /> <br />? ?
