Tol Eressëa "The Lonely Isle"

What else could a man over seventy do?：七十老翁何所求？

When a person is rolling, he cannot possibly turn inward to see himself, or
turn outward to see others. Thus he no longer needs to glorify the internal
and belittle the external. He can remain independent without turning his back
on others. He can even move across the ground without being seen. The di-
fferences between self and surroundings become blurred at the momeent when the
body and soul merge into one. Isn't that a wonder! Isn't that a blessing!
當打滾時，內不見己，外不見人，無美於中，無醜於外，不背而身不獲，行庭而人不見，
內外兩忘，身心如一。難矣！難矣！

When one was lost, ten thousand stampeded.：一人失利，萬人奔潰。

When the cock crowed the third time, the star of the valiant soldier fell
from the sky.
口雞三號，將星殞矣。

When the prize is high, people will be brave.：重賞之下，必有勇夫。

When you are young, be careful about your lust. When you are mature, beware
of your contention.
少時戒之在色，壯時戒之在鬥。

With only four walls standing by themslves.：家徒四壁。
