Ikkyu
(1394–1481) Japanese Buddhist monk
"A Fisherman" in Wild Ways : Zen Poems (2003), edited and translated by John Stevens, p. 37.
Context: Studying texts and stiff meditation can make you lose your Original Mind.

Dusk rain on the river, the moon peeking in and out of the clouds;
Elegant beyond words, he chants his songs night after night.

What you most want,
what you travel around wishing to find,
lose yourself as lovers lose themselves,
and you'll be that.
