The Great Madhyamaka therefore maintains that the
conceptual
area of the subject-object dichotomy is intrinsically empty (rang-stong), while the buddha-body of reality endowed with all enlightened attributes is empty of that extraneous conceptual area which forms the subject-object dichotomy (gzhan-stong).

Besides writing
pastoral
poems, idylls of village life,
at a time when nature still repelled more than it attracted,
he wrote a drama, which, with a classical subject, was
a transparent allegory of the ominous political infirmity
of his country.

To fade away like morning beauty from her mortal day:
Down by the river of Adona her soft voice is heard;
And thus her gentle
lamentation
falls like morning dew.

Of stranger cousins, in a family tree
Drawn on a sort of passport with the branch
Of the one bearing it done in detail--
Some zealous one's

Cross her quiet hands, and smooth
Down her patient locks of silk,
Cold and passive as in truth
You your fingers in spilt milk
Drew along a marble floor;
But her lips you cannot wring
Into saying a word more,
"Yes," or "No," or such a thing:
Though you call and beg and wreak
Half your soul out in a shriek,
She will lie there in default
And most
innocent
revolt.

Sigh
My soul, towards your brow where O calm sister,
An autumn dreams,
blotched
by reddish smudges,
And towards the errant sky of your angelic eye
Climbs: as in a melancholy garden the true sigh
Of a white jet of water towards the Azure!
