Ave asi strofe des-cuatro.

14

It isn't seen by looking.
On no vide el par regarda.

Call it invisible.
Nomi el nonvidable.

It isn't heard by listening.
On no oia el par escuta.

Call it inaudible.
Nomi el nonoiable.

It isn't held by grasping.
On no teni el par saisi.

Call it intangible.
Nomi el nonpalpable.

These three can't be fathomed.
On no pote comprende esta tre.

They blend into one.
Los misca a en un.

Not bright above,
No briliante a supra,

Not dark below,
No oscura a su,

Forever without name,
Per sempre sin nomi,

It turns back to nonexistence.
El reveni a nonesiste.

Call it form without form,
Nomi el forma sin forma,

The image of nonexistence.
La imaje de nonesiste.

Call it vague and elusive,
Nomi el neblos e ombral,

With no face to see and no back to follow.
Con no fas vide e no dorso segue.

Hold the ancient Dao to handle the present
Teni la Dau antica (per?) palpa la present

And follow Dao's thread to the source.
E segue la fibre de Dau a la fonte.
