As fire breaks from a mountain's secret depths
it dramatizes the mountain's lofty heights.

Thus Grace (beauty of form) is necessary
in order to be attractive and unordinary.

In small matters... Success through Grace.
To undertake something... To go someplace.

Grace isn't an essential or fundamental thing.
It is only ornamental and used sparing.

We see Grace in luminaries in the heavens
thereby ascertaining the cycles of seasons.

It should be a part of us... as in nature.
It should be the garment of the superior.

One administrates with grace, day to day,
but in matters of law... sobriety is the way.
GRACE: 
THE LINES...
NINE AT BOTTOM'S PLACE:
A beginner in a subordinate place
must accept the labor of the race
scorning tempting inclines of ease.

SIX IN THE SECOND PLACE:
A character that is vain and thin
may grace the beard on one's chin.
But what about the person within?


NINE IN THIRD PLACE:
One is under the spell of wine and grace.
Swept into convivial indolence's embrace.
Success comes only by constant vigilance.

SIX IN FOURTH PLACE:
Richly adorned, all in white,
on a winged horse, also white,
one comes purely as a suitor
and not as a raider or robber.

SIX IN FIFTH PLACE:
Spider's silk is meager: Humiliation.
But in the end good Fortune
for someone to look up to is found
whom one would like as a friend.
It's love that counts in the end.

NINE AT THE TOP MEANS:
Perfect Grace is not what's shown
but inner simplicity in it's own.
