1.47

來問婉切，難為郢人。貧道思不關微，兼拙於筆語。且至趣無言，言必乖趣。云云不已，竟何所辨？聊以狂言，示詶來旨耳。

Your incoming queries are graceful and trenchant, making it difficult to play the man of Ying. My thinking does not penetrate subtlety, and I am moreover clumsy in written expression. Furthermore, the ultimate purport is beyond words; words inevitably depart from the purport. If talk continues endlessly, what after all is discerned? I merely use wild words to present a reply to your esteemed message.
