The Line

One pushes upward into an empty city.

Interpretation

Here all the hindrances that are otherwise set to advance fall away. It goes forward with remarkable ease. Without misgiving one follows this road in order to make use of the success. Seen outwardly, it looks as though everything were in the best order. Nevertheless no happiness-promising addition is appended. One asks how long such unhindered success lasts. But it is a matter of not indulging in such misgivings, because thereby the strength would only be hindered, but quickly to make use of the favor of the time.
