Study the past, if you would divine the future.
The Ancient Masters were subtle, mysterious, profound, responsive
. The depth of their knowledge is unfathomable.
Because it is unfathomable, all we can do is describe their appearance.
Watchful, like men crossing a winter stream.
Alert, like men aware of danger.
Courteous, like visiting guests. Yielding, like ice about to melt.
Simple, like uncarved blocks of wood.
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind.
