"Hold aloft the Great Image (hsiang), The whole world will go to it. Going to it, they will meet with no harm, Only safety, peace, and contentment (an p'ing t'ai). When music and dainty dishes are offered, The passers-by stop. Tao, when it is uttered by the mouth, Is so bland it has no flavor. When looked at, it is not enough to be seen. When listened to, it is not enough to be heard, When used (yung), it is inexhaustible."
