Night's candles have burned out, and jocund day stands tiptoe on the misty mountaintops." hope tinged with melancholy - like life.
Night Tiptoes Melancholy
Did you ever see the way the clouds love a mountain? they circle all around it; sometimes you can't even see the mountain for the clouds. but you know what? ... the clouds never cover the head. his head pokes through, because the clouds let him; they don't wrap him up. they let him keep his head high, free.

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? it is the east, and juliet is the sun. arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief, that thou, her maid, art far more fair than she. be not her maid, since she is envious; her vestal livery is but sick and green and none but fools do wear it; cast it off. it is my lady, o, it is my love! oh, that she knew she were!

I meditate for the last time on this mountain that is bare, though others all around are white with snow. like the bare peak of the koan, this one is not different from myself. i know this mountain because i am this mountain, i can feel it breathing at this moment, as its grass tops stray against the snows. if the snow leopard should leap from the rock above and manifest itself before me - s-a-a-o! - then in that moment of pure fright, out of my wits, i might truly perceive it, and be free.

Antisthenes used to say that envious people were devoured by their own disposition, just as iron is by rust. envy of others comes from comparing what they have with what the envious person has, rather than the envious person realising they have more than what they could have and certainly more than some others and being grateful. it is really just an inability to get a correct perspective on their lives.

"any toe," arya said, exasperated with the question. she hopped from her right leg to her left, swaying dangerously before she regained her balance. "must you do your standing here?" he asked. "it's a long hard fall down these steps." "syrio says a water dancer never falls.

More safe i sing with mortal voice, unchang'd to hoarse or mute, though fall'n on evil days, on evil days though fall'n, and evil tongues.
Fall Voice Evil
We are the creatures of imagination, passion, and self-will, more than of reason or even of self-interest. even in the common transactions and daily intercourse of life, we are governed by whim, caprice, prejudice, or accident. the falling of a teacup puts us out of temper for the day; and a quarrel that commenced about the pattern of a gown may end only with our lives.
