"Khwei indicates that, (notwithstanding the condition of things which "
"it denotes), in small matters there will (still) be good success. "
" "
"1. The first line, undivided, shows that (to its subject) occasion "
"for repentance will disappear. He has lost his horses, but let him "
"not seek for them;-they will return of themselves. Should he meet "
"with bad men, he will not err (in communicating with them). "
" "
"2. The second line, undivided, shows its subject happening to meet "
"with his lord in a bye-passage. There will be no error. "
" "
"3. In the third line, divided, we see one whose carriage is dragged "
"back, while the oxen in it are pushed back, and he is himself "
"subjected to the shaving of his head and the cutting off of his nose. "
"There is no good beginning, but there will be a good end. "
" "
"4. The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject solitary admidst the "
"(prevailing) disunion. (But) he meets with the good man (represented "
"by the first line), and they blend their sincere desires together. "
"The position is one of peril, but there will be no mistake. "
" "
"5. The fifth line, divided, shows that (to its subject) occasion for "
"repentance will disappear. With his relative (and minister he unites "
"closely and readily) as if he were biting through a piece of skin. "
"When he goes forward (with this help), what error can there be ? "
" "
"6. The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject solitary amidst the "
"(prevailing) disunion. (In the subject of the third line, he seems "
"to ) see a pig bearing on its back a load of mud, (or fancies) there "
"is a carriage full of ghosts. He first bends his bow against him, "
"and afterwards unbends it, (for he discovers) that he is not an "
"assailant to injure, but a near relative. Going forward, he shall "
"meet with (genial) rain, and there will be good fortune. "
"----------------------------------------------------------------- "
" Although a fire may burn on the waters of a lake the two elements"
" never mix together. A good person among the bad still retains his"
" integrity. Beauty is unaltered by the presence of ugliness, opposites "
" are not lost by co-existence."
