Line Commentary
Seductive joyousness. A vain nature invites diverting pleasures. If unstable within, the pleasures of the world have so powerful an influence that you are swept along by them. Here it is no longer a question of good fortune or misfortune. You have given up direction of your own life, and what becomes of you depends upon chance and external influences.
