Do you see that sunflower, raising its head
Glaring at the sun?
Its head almost eclipses the sun
Yet even when there is no sun
Its head still glows.

Do you see that sunflower, raising its head

Yet even when there is no sun
Its head still glows.- "Sunflower in the Sun" (trans. Jonathan Stalling and Yibing Huang)
