“Hidden in the glorious wildness like unmined gold.”

Of the larch and pine;

Solitude and shrine, —
There he dream'd the hours away.”

“The buddha nature, or tathagatagarbha, is present in all beings, but is hidden by obscurations, in the same way that buried gold is hidden by the earth under which it lies. As you listen to, reflect, and meditate on the Dharma, all the inherent qualities of your buddha nature will be actualized.”

“Glorious are the woods in their latest gold and crimson,
Yet our full-leaved willows are in the freshest green.

“True Love in this differs from gold and clay,
That to divide is not to take away.
Love is like understanding, that grows bright,
Gazing on many truths; 'tis like thy light,
Imagination! which from earth and sky,
And from the depths of human phantasy,
As from a thousand prisms and mirrors, fills
The Universe with glorious beams, and kills
Error, the worm, with many a sun-like arrow
Of its reverberated lightning.”

“Language exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides.”
