Emptiness Is Form
When, just as they are,
White dewdrops gather
On scarlet maple leaves,
Regard the scarlet beads!
Form Is Emptiness
The tree is stripped,
All colour, fragrance gone,
Yet already on the bough,
Uncaring spring!
— Ikkyu
Form & Emptiness
When, just as they are,
White dewdrops gather
On scarlet maple leaves,
Regard the scarlet beads!
