From A Chinese Garden of Serenity (1959), by Hung Tzu-ch’eng, translated by Chao Tze-chiang:

To appreciate one does not need to look afar; to be inspired one does not need to have much. In a little jagged stone or small basin, a man may visualize the grandeur of mountains or rivers ten thousand miles long; in a word or sentence of the ancient sages or worthies, he may read their minds. If so, he has the vision of the noble and the mind of the wise.
