On re-reading One Robe, One Bowl, I'm hungry for more Zen poetry (Chinese or Japanese). Share a poet and a few lines of their work!

Ryokan:
If there is beauty, there must be ugliness;
If there is right there must be wrong.
Wisdom and ignorance are complementary,
And illusion and enlightenment cannot be separated.
This is an old truth, don't think it was discovered recently.
"I want this, I want that"
Is nothing but foolishness.
I'll tell you a secret -
"All things are impermanent!"

I read the poems of Ryokan and found them quite moving. Poetry appears to me to be the best vehicle for Zen.
