dear nightPosted by hunter in Untagged |
dear night
carry me to dreams of gracious flight
in redwoods, down sparkling river banks
there shall be no war or tanks
or inner war of leaden, blank success
but spiritual gold with every sweet caress
light and airy with no need attached
dear night
carry me to dreams of gracious flight

The [morally] noble woman guards herself against three things. When she is young, her xue-qi has not yet stabilized, so she guards herself against sexual passion. When she reaches her prime, her xue-qi is not easily subdued, so she guards herself against combativeness. When she reaches old age, her xue-qi is already depleted, so she guards herself against acquisitiveness.
