Line Commentary
He brings help with the strength of a horse. Good fortune. It is important that disunion should be overcome at the outset, before it has become complete—that the clouds be dispersed before they have brought storm and rain. At such times, take quick and vigorous action to dissolve misunderstandings and mutual distrust.
