Line Commentary
The curtain is of such fullness that the polestars can be seen at noon. Through going one meets with mistrust and hate. If one rouses through truth, good fortune comes. Plots and party intrigues have the darkening effect of an eclipse. The ruler is overshadowed by a party that has usurped power. Energetic measures would meet only mistrust and envy. The essential thing is to hold inwardly to the power of truth, which in the end exerts an invisible influence, so that all goes well.
