Heaven
and earth do not act from (the impulse of) any wish to be
benevolent;
they deal with all things as the dogs of grass are dealt
with.
The sages do not act from (any wish to be) benevolent; they
deal
with the people as the dogs of grass are dealt with.
May
not the space between heaven and earth be compared to
a
bellows?
'Tis
emptied, yet it loses not its power;
'Tis
moved again, and sends forth air the more.
Much
speech to swift exhaustion lead we see;
Your
inner being guard, and keep it free.
