Line Commentary
No cry. In the end, misfortune comes. Victory seems achieved. Only a remnant of evil remains to be eradicated. Everything looks easy—this is the danger. If not vigilant, evil escapes through concealment. New misfortunes develop from remaining seeds. Evil does not die easily. In your own character too, go to work with thoroughness.
