TAOÍSMO-ESTOICISMO: De Teng Yu-pin ( traduzido por Wayne Schleep), escrito há cerca de 700 anos, sobre a vanitas:
"Deep among white clouds in green mountains A thatched and humble dwelling with neither winter nor summer; In leisure I can talk with simple folk, When tired, sleep under the gourd-vine trellis; Do you understand this? Do you see it at all? It's better than bearing fear in a world of strife."
Mar de opinioes, ideias e comentarios. Para marinheiros e estivadores, sereias e outras musas, tubaroes e demais peixe graudo, carapaus de corrida e todos os errantes navegantes.
