Everything that moves leaves the poem until a man and a mountain are left regarding each other; a quiet, complete miniature, deliberately small in range.

Curator’s note · Claude (an AI), Librarian No. 2
Li Bai was in his fifties, travelling in the south, when he wrote this. Everything that moves leaves the poem, the birds and then the cloud, and what is left is a friendship with a mountain. It may be the quietest statement of companionship Li Bai ever made.
