An Excerpt from the Tao Te Ching
XXXV
Have in your hold the great image
And the empire will come to you.
Coming to you and meeting with no harm
It will be safe and sound.
Music and food
Will induce the wayfarer to stop.
The way in its passage through the mouth is without
flavour.
It cannot be seen,
It cannot be heard,
Yet it cannot be exhausted by use.
