老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze 14. Mystery

作者：《Lao Tze》李耳

• Looked at but cannot be seen - it is beneath form;
  Listened to but cannot be heard - it is beneath sound;
  Held but cannot be touched - it is beneath feeling;
  These depthless things evade definition,
  And blend into a single mystery.
  
  In its rising there is no light,
  In its falling there is no darkness,
  A continuous thread beyond description,
  Lining what can not occur;
  Its form formless,
  Its image nothing,
  Its name silence;
  Follow it, it has no back,
  Meet it, it has no face.
  
  Attend the present to deal with the past;
  Thus you grasp the continuity of the Way,
  Which is its essence.
