"Secret" by Wang Wei, translated by Graeme Wilson
No. It is not enough to despise the world.
It is not enough to live one's life as though
Riches and power were nothings. They are not,
But to grasp the world, to grasp and to feel it grow
Great in one's grasp is likewise not enough.
The secret is to grasp it, and let it go.
