Who thinks his great achievements poor
Shall find his vigour long
endure.
Of greatest fulness, deemed a void,
Exhaustion ne'er shall stem the tide.
Do thou what's straight still crooked deem;
Thy greatest art
still stupid seem,
And eloquence a stammering scream.
Constant action overcomes cold; being still
overcomes heat. Purity
and stillness give the correct law to all under heaven.
