From
苏轼 《
前赤壁赋》 ('Former Red Cliff Rhapsody,' Northern Song, 1082). After establishing that we may not take what is not ours, the host consoles his guest with what the world gives freely:
惟江上之清风,
与山间之明月。
取之无禁,
用之不竭 (only the clear wind on the river and the bright moon among the hills; taking them is not forbidden, using them they do not run out - the Creator's inexhaustible storehouse). One of the most cherished passages in Chinese prose.
