People :
Author : Laozi (Lao-Tzu)
Translator : Ursula K. Le Guin
Text :
What seeks to shrink
must first have grown;
what seeks weakness
surely was strong.
What seeks its ruin
must first have risen;
what seeks to take
has surely given.
This is called the small dark light:
the soft, the weak prevail
over the hard, the strong.
Fish should stay underwater:
the real means of rule
should be kept dark.[27]
