dear dayPosted by hunter in Untagged |
dear day
cover us with miracle hay
feeding all with magic plight
no thought but light impending night
colours gold, green covering all
no need for child's death and wall
i know the ideal is far from truth
yet even different prayers forsooth
can reach the sky the earth going round
moon racing tides can feel the sound.




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.
