原版英文故事與詩(shī)歌：Starshine and Non-being

　　Starshine and Non-Beingby Chuang-TzuStarshine asked Non-Being,

　　"Master, do you exist? Or do you not exist?"

　　Since he received no answer at all,

　　Starshine set himself to watch for Non-Being.

　　He waited to see if Non-Being would appear.

　　He kept his eyes fixed on the deep Void,

　　hoping to catch a glimpse of Non-Being.

　　All day long he looked.

　　He saw nothing.

　　He listened.

　　He heard nothing.

　　Then Starlight cried out at last: "This is IT!"

　　"This is the farthest yet! Who can reach it?

　　I can understand the absence of Being.

　　But who can understand the absence of Nothing?

　　If now, on top of all this, Non-Being exists,

　　Who can understand it?"
