The Unbearable Heaviness of Stuff

"My hut lies in the middle of a dense forest,
Every year the ivy grows longer.
No news of the affairs of men,
Only the occasional song of a woodcutter.

The sun shines,
I mend my robe.
When the moon is out i read poems.
I have nothing to report to my friends.

If you want to find the true meaning,
Stop chasing after so many things!"
