frightful nightPosted by hunter in Untagged |
i was dying in my dream
going down against others with a scream
not going quietly into that good night
still wanting to gain morning sight
if i travel even feared by another
i will not be carried asunder
i'll fight for new and learn for fright
i'll make peace my day
before the night i'll have my say

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.
