Exactly what we draw on for Kamo

Each excerpt below shows the edition and translation it comes from, so you can check it against the original yourself.

Ceaselessly the river flows, and yet the water is never the same, while in the still pools the shifting foam gathers and is gone, never staying for a moment. Even so is man and his habitation.

The owner and his dwelling are like the dew that gathers on the morning glory. Sometimes the dew falls and the flower remains; but it will wither in the morning sun. Sometimes the flower fades while the dew is still there; but it will not last till evening.
