18.30

大用不拘,今古楷模,倒拈蝎尾,平捋虎鬚,若非深辯端倪,何以坐觀成敗?俊處穎脫囊錐,高來卷舒方外,孤峯頂上浪滔天,正令當行百雜碎。咄!

"Great function is unrestricted; / A model for past and present. / Turning backward to seize the scorpion's tail, / Plainly stroking the tiger's whiskers. / If one does not deeply discern the subtle clues, / How could one sit and observe success and failure? / At the sharp point, the awl breaks through the bag; / Rising high, it rolls up and unfurls beyond the square. / On the solitary mountain peak, waves surge to the heavens; / When the true command is put into effect, everything is smashed to bits! / Bah!"
