Author : Laozi (Lao-Tzu)

Translator : Ursula K. Le Guin

Text :
----------------------------------



The way is the hearth and home

of the ten thousand things.

Good souls treasure it,

lost souls find shelter in it.



Fine words are for sale,

fine deeds go cheap;

even worthless people can get them.



So, at the coronation of the Son of Heaven

when the Three Ministers take office,

you might race out in a four-horse chariot

to offer a jade screen;

but wouldn’t it be better to sit still

and let the Way be your offering?



Why was the Way honored

in the old days?

Wasn’t it said:

Seek, you’ll find it.

Hide, it will shelter you.

So it was honored under heaven.[46]
