from the ABC set ∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙a mountain's echoing

a man travelled for a year and asked,
"what is beauty?"
he heard nothing.

he then travelled ten years and asked,
"what is beauty?"
again, he heard nothing.

he travelled fifty years more
and then asked,
"what is beauty?"

"`tis upon that which it fell,"
the answerer answered a third time.
