"Seize the great image And the world will flock to you. Flocking to you they come to no harm, And peace and security prevails. Passing travelers will interrupt their journey For music and fine fare.

Look for it and there is nothing to see, Listen for it and there is nothing to hear, And yet in availing oneself of it, it is inexhaustible."
