Beauty does not demand attention
The wise have little need for speech.
Light shines from the glowing lantern
The paper does not catch on fire.
- Hu Ming-Xiang
Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing wax -- Of cabbages -- and kings -- And why the sea is boiling hot -- And whether pigs have wings.

For the first time, I am not able to grasp the essence of this Hu Ming-Xiang installment...
Is there paper in lantern cause am just not getting this metaphor...
The lantern IS made of paper.
