凡人在凡谷
不凡太孤獨
平凡易庸俗
尋找谷外菊
菊說空氣毒
萬物難脫俗
Ordinary people lives in ordinary valley;
Being extraordinarily can be lonely,
Yet too ordinary it becomes vulgar,
Looking for fresh chrysanthemum,
Only for it to complain about the air,
Too polluted for her refined taste.
(English translation by Grotto Fine Art)
