• You find a flower half-buried in leaves,
  And in your eye its very fate resides.
  Loving beauty, you caress the bloom;
  Soon enough, you'll sweep petals from the floor.
  Terrible to love the lovely so,
  To count your own years, to say I'm old,
  To see a flower half-buried in leaves
  And come face to face with what you are.

  Hanshan

The gossiper and the writer may find this out soon enough, and a little encouragement from the current mood will procure them successes that bring endless imitators in their trail. On the other hand saying good things about life in general and individuals in particular and making it interesting is a serious task which few can achieve with credit.
