Grace — 五六

The Line

Interpretation

One withdraws from intercourse with the people of the depths, who seek only splendor and luxury, into the solitude of the heights. There one finds a person to whom one looks up and whom one would like to make one's friend. But the guest gifts one has to offer are only meager and scant, so that one is ashamed. Yet it is not the outer gift that matters, but the true disposition; therefore in the end all goes well.
