The wind blows to the south,
    goes around to the north;
    around and around blows the wind;
    the wind returns to its rounds again.
All streams flow to the sea,
    but the sea is never full;
    to the place where the rivers flow,
    there they continue to flow.

    no one is able to speak.
    The eye isn’t satisfied with seeing,
    neither is the ear filled up by hearing.
