steveday asked:
What is the best course to take with ale?
and received a response of:
38 Estrangement
The Statement of the first hexagram
Estrangement.
In small matters: fortune.
The changing lines
The second line:
Meeting one's master in the lane.
No fault.
The sixth line:
Strange sights: a pig shouldering mud,
a cartload of ghosts. One first draws a bow,
then lowers it. No raider- a groom. Go.
Meet the rain, and with it, fortune.
51 Thunder
The Statement of the second hexagram
Thunder everywhere.
Thunder comes frighteningly.
People laugh and exclaim.
Thunder terrifies for one hundred miles,
but do not lose the ladle
of sacrificial wine.
The Image of the first hexagram
Fire above, lake below:
estrangement. The noble
one works with others,
but remains an individual.
The Image of the second hexagram
Continuous thunder
on thunder.
The noble one examines
his morals
in fear and dread.
