Therefore it is said: Who | | understands the Way seems foolish; Who | | progresses on the Way seems to fail; | | Who follows the Way seems to wander. | | For the finest harmony appears plain; | | The brightest truth appears coloured; | | The richest character appears | | incomplete; The bravest heart appears | | meek; The simplest nature appears | | inconstant. The square, perfected, has | | no corner; Music, perfected, has no | | melody; Love, perfected, has no climax; | | Art, perfected, has no meaning. The Way | | can be neither sensed nor known: It | | transmits sensation and transcends | | knowledge. | | | \ -- Lao Tse, "Tao Te Ching" / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
