9.255

五葉之華。三斤之麻。外無稜角兮。中無孽芽。
箭石不是虎。酒弓不是蛇。千里之失兮毫釐之差。
得非思議兮。自謂一曲之士。望絕涯畛兮。
人稱大方之家。

The flower of five petals; the three pounds of flax.
Externally, without corners or edges; internally, without evil shoots.
The stone struck by an arrow is not a tiger; the bow in the wine cup is not a snake.
A mistake of a thousand miles begins with a hair's breadth of difference.
Attaining what cannot be conceived, one calls oneself a man of narrow scope;
Gazing toward the boundlessness, people call him a master of the great expanse.
