64 Not Yet Across
The Statement of the first hexagram
Not yet across. Continue.
The young fox, nearly across,
soaks its tail.
No place is gainful.
The changing lines
The fourth line:
Pure fortune. Regrets vanish. Terrifyingly
attack the Gui Fang. In three years,
there will be rewards in a great country.
Pure fortune. No regrets.
4 Youth
The Statement of the second hexagram
A youth must be steadfast.
I do not seek the naive youth.
The naive youth seeks me.
At the first divination, I explain,
but after three times, it is irritating.
Annoyed, I explain no further.
Nevertheless, a gainful omen.
The Image of the first hexagram
Fire on top of water:
not yet across. The wise
one distinguishes things
carefully, and puts them
in their places.
The Image of the second hexagram
A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
