I built my cottage among the

 habitations of men,

And yet there is no clamor of

 carriages and horses.

You ask: "Sir, how can this be done?"

"A heart that is distant creates its own solitude."

I pluck chrysanthemums under the eastern hedge,

Then gaze afar towards the southern hills.

The mountain air is fresh at the dusk of day;

The flying birds in flocks return.

In these things there lies a deep meaning;

I want to tell it, but have forgotten the words.

Not Chinese New Year Parade day, but Olivia was wearing the same scarf so I'll just add it in here. here.
We could not find Tuan in the crowd! 
The parade turned out to be just one big campaign rally this year.
