The wind blows to the south,
    goes around to the north;
    around and around blows the wind;
    the wind returns to its rounds again.
All streams flow to the sea,
    but the sea is never full;

    no one is able to speak.
    The eye isn’t satisfied with seeing,
    neither is the ear filled up by hearing.
