59 - Dispersion

59 - Dispersion

Gently grow further

Sometimes
Our own abysses
Unfold
Before us.
Let them
Peacefully vanish,
Like phantoms.
While we
Gently
Grow
Further.

Classical Interpretation

Dispersion (59) signifies separation.

The image

The wind sweeps over the water: the image of dispersion. Thus the kings of ancient times sacrificed to the Lord and built temples.

The judgement

Dispersion. Success. The king approaches his temple. It furthers to cross the great water. Perseverance furthers. Full text of Richard Wilhelm's 1924 translation by Cary F. Baynes
