Robert Chastain:
- Marina Nushtaeva: "A Chinese poet was thought of as a medium, his power and inspiration he drew from the outside, from the innermost depths of the universe, where there were holes of the gates of his spirit. The focus of the Chinese innermost seemed Nonbeing, emptiness, a silent nothingness. It was here that was the abode of the Great Tao - Way of the Universe, the source of all things, which seemed to manifest images of things in the visible world, pulling them out of the black void. Beautiful flowers are born, poems will be rended from the poet's heart, but in the beginning they are one.Everything in the universe is moving equally in space and time, in obedience to the rhythm of theGreat Tao. In the meandering of whimsically flowing rivers, in the frozen millennial moment of the waves of mountains this rhythm is manifested with particular visibility, and admiring them, penetrating the spiritual vision of their hidden essence, the poet acquires the shortest path of initiation to the Absolute."
