      When the gentle learn flow, they use it with diligence;

      When the common learn flow, they use it on occasion;

      When the mean learn flow, they laugh out loud;

      Those who do not laugh, do not learn it.

      Therefore it is said:

      Who understands flow seems foolish;

      Who progresses with flow seems to fail;

      Who follows flow seems to wander.

      For the finest harmony appears plain;

      The brightest truth appears colored;

      The richest character appears incomplete;

      The bravest heart appears meek;

      The simplest nature appears inconstant.

      The square, perfected, has no corner;

      Music, perfected, has no melody;

      Love, perfected, has no climax;

      Art, perfected, has no meaning.

      So flow can be neither sensed nor known:

      It transmits sensation and transcends knowledge.
