Notes from Wikiquote
Line 1788
Inside ourselves there lies the root of good:
the heart outweighs all talents on this earth.
By lamplight turn these scented leaves and read
a tale of love recorded in old books.
Just as the lotus wilts, the mums bloom forth—
time softens grief, and winter turns to spring.
Heaven grants us this hour: now from our gate
all mists have cleared; on high, clouds roll away.
