The changing lines
The fourth line:
An ample beam. Fortunate,
unless there has been stinting.
The fifth line:
Withered wood blooms with flowers.
An old woman takes a husband.
Neither fault nor praise.
The sixth line:
Fording, wading, head submerged.
Misfortune, but without fault.
18 Poison
The Statement of the second hexagram
Poison brings the great continuing.
Advance across the great river.
Before starting: three days.
After starting: three days.
The Image of the first hexagram
The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
The Image of the second hexagram
Wind below the mountain:
poison. The noble one
stirs the people
and nourishes virtue.
