Line Commentary
The curtain is of such fullness that the polestars can be seen at noon. He meets his ruler, who is of like kind. Good fortune. Darkness is already decreasing; interrelated elements come together. The complement must be found—wisdom to complement joy of action. Then everything will go well.
