"Raise me no mound, plant me no grove; time will pass with the revolving sun and moon. I never cared for praise in my lifetime, and it matters not at all what eulogies are sung after my death. Man's life is hard enough in truth; and death is not to be avoided."

- Tao Yuanming

I have a psychological difficulty wrapping my comprehension around the phrase "well-known hermit". It just doesn't work for me. If you're well-known, then you're obviously not trying hard enough to be a hermit. Bad hermit! No solitude!
