Liu Hsieh | 465-522 CE | Wen-hsin tiao-lung

An Ancient said, "One may be on the rivers and sea in body, but his mind remains at the palace gate." This is what I mean by shen-ssu, or spiritual thought or imagination. One who is engaged in literary thought travels far in spirit. Quietly absorbed in contemplation, his thinking reaches back one thousand years; and with only the slightest movement of his countenance, his vision penetrates ten thousand Ii; he creates the music of pearls and jade between his poetic lines, and he witnesses the rolling of wind and clouds right before his brows and lashes. These things are possible because of the work of the imagination.
