A hundred mountains and no bird,
A thousand paths without a footprint.
A little boat, a bamboo cloak,
An old man fishing in the cold river-snow.

translation
There is no trace of birds on the surrounding mountains, and there is not even a trace of people on the path. Only in a boat on the river, there is an old man in coir and hat, fishing alone on the cold river.
Sublimation: The surrounding mountains are undulating and empty, without the chirping and trace of birds, and there is no trace of people on all the paths that shuttle inside and outside the mountains. Only on the wide and calm river, an old fisherman in coir and hat sits alone in a lonely boat fishing.
