茫茫終何之 is a wonderfully, nuanced sentiment. It rhymes with 迷茫, 忙忙 and so, to what end? If we care to pierce into this predicament closely, then there's a kind of release and opening towards the vast and boundless as you noted in that poem. I really like that painting by 巨然 too!
Thanks Peckgee! He described this feeling in a relatable way. I believe 巨然 may have more paintings dedicated to Xie Lingyun, probably lost. But the remaining ones are really a treasure.

A lovely tribute to Xie Lingyun.
Thanks Debbie! He's definitely worth our time to read and know more!
