Fragrant Nirvana Tree (1999)
I'm infatuated
in the fragrance of this aromatic tree
knowing that its luring won’t be faithful
even though I breathe it deep inside
still it will follow someone else away
but I'm infatuated
Tree of fragrance doesn't even know there is a love-infatuated one
it's just a game between itself and the breeze
but I'm infatuated
I've lost my way
in the shade of the nirvana tree
knowing it is just a momentary luring
and though I cannot bear to let it go
knowing when the time comes it will leave
but I have lost my way
Nirvana tree doesn't even know there is a love-infatuated one
it's just a game between itself and the glimmer
but I've already lost my way
Whirling Udumbara I and Whirling Udumbara II belong to the same catena, which is inspired from Xuntian He’s poem Fragrant Nirvana Tree (1999).
