The poem is by ancient Chinese poet Tao Yuan-Ming. It is depicted as written in the niche on distressed plaster wall. Style of writing is in 4th to 8th century Roman manuscripts using calligraphy hand “Uncial”. It had no minuscule letters, only capitals. The letter “I” is gold leaf composite on slightly raised gesso. Poem by Tao Yuan-Ming. I build my hut in the zone of human habitation, yet near me there no noise of horse or coach. Would you know how that is possible? A heart that is distant creates wilderness round it. I pluck chrysanthemums under the eastern hedge, then gaze long at the distant summer hills. The mountain air is fresh at the dusk of day: the flying birds two by two return. In these things lies a deep meaning: yet when we would express it, words suddenly fail us.
