Go to see thalia's play?
and received a response of:
42 Increase
The Statement of the first hexagram
Increase. Gain by having a place to go.
Advance across the great river.
The changing lines
The first line:
Gain by using great work.
Great fortune. No fault.
The fourth line:
There is a middle path. Alert the duke
to follow. Gain by working for the sake
of moving the nation.
12 Clogging
The Statement of the second hexagram
Clogging by wicked people.
Nothing to be gained,
even from a steadfast prince.
The great goes, the vile comes.
The Image of the first hexagram
Wind and thunder:
increase. The noble one
sees perfection
and shifts to fit its pattern,
and corrects his own faults.
The Image of the second hexagram
Heaven and earth
separate: clogging.
The noble one acts
with self-restraint
in the face
of punishing hardship,
and avoids glory or riches.
