Wasps and snakes will not bite him; Hawks and tigers will not claw him. His bones are soft yet his grasp is sure, For his flesh is supple; His mind is innocent yet his body is virile, For his vigour is plentiful; His song is long-lasting yet his voice is sweet, For his grace is perfect. But knowing harmony creates abstraction, And following abstraction creates ritual. Exceeding nature creates calamity, And controlling nature creates violence. [Chinese text]|[Go To Top] End of TAO TE CHING - Chapter 55. Soft Bones
