9.33

Phrases from itinerant wandering are intimate; / Traces of dwelling in the mountains are stale. / In silence there is remaining flavor; / In words one returns to losing the genuine. / Gold sends forth resonance and transcends obstruction; / Jade is carved with patterns and loses its purity. / The capacity within the breast; / The spirit beneath the eyebrows. / A tiger three days old has the mettle to devour an ox; / In the vast sea of ten thousand leagues are scales that swallow ships. / The nature attained fully lifts the nostrils; / The transmission of mind does not hang on the lips. / In the courtyard of white snow, / The gentleman waist-deep stands alone; / At the chessboard beneath red banana palms, / The man who once watched his axe handle rot.
