Silver, moonlight, wet grass

"The first temptation of Sakyamuni was desire, but he saw that it led to
fulfillment and then to desire, so that one was easy."

"Suppose, before they said silver or moonlight or wet grass, each poet
had to agree to be responsible for the innocence of all the suffering on
earth,

because they learned in arithmetic, during the long school days, that if
there was anything left over,

you had to carry it."
