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 second line:
Wild swans gradually reach the boulder.
Drinking and eating in bliss. Fortune.
9 Smallness Tames
The Statement of the second hexagram
Smallness tames. Persevere.
Dense clouds, no rain
at my western border.
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
Wind moving high
in heaven: smallness tames.
The noble one acts
with restraint, culture,
and morals.
