53 Gradually

The Statement of the first hexagram

A woman marries: fortune.
Gainful purity.

The changing lines

The first line:
Wild swans gradually reach the stream bank.
One's children endangered. There is talk.
No fault.
The third line:
Wild swans gradually reach the shore.
A man journeys but does not return. A wife,
pregnant; does not give birth. Misfortune.
Gain by guarding against raiders.
The fourth line:
Wild swans gradually reach the wood.
Some find branches. No fault.

25 Innocence

The Statement of the second hexagram

Innocence: from the first, all must be

pervasive, gainful, and pure.

Those without such truth suffer calamity

and do not gain no matter where they go.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Wood on the mountain:
gradually.
The noble one dwells
in high moral character
and reforms
popular customs.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Thunder moves
under heaven: all the world
is innocent. The ancient
kings paid close attention
to the time
in nourishing
the myriad things.
