Poem Artwork

I have heard of those who fly with wings,

I have not heard of flying without them;

I have heard of the knowledge of the wise,

I have not heard of the knowledge

Of the unwise. Besides, I have never

Heard of those who were born not to die.

 

Not to move a step is easy; to walk

Without treading on the ground is difficult.

In acting after the manner of humans,

It is easy to fall into hypocrisy;

In acting after the manner of Heaven,

It is difficult to play the hypocrite.

 

By opening no other door and employing

No other devices but dwelling with one

Rigid rule as with your bosom friend,

Sharing the same abode, as if you have

No other roommate, and you’ll not be far

From success in your doomed objective.
