46E
When the world follows Tao
hunt horses are used on the farm fields.
When the world lacks Tao
war horses are bred outside city walls.
There is no greater fault than getting what one desires.
No greater defect than not knowing when one has enough.
No greater tragedy than the desire to achieve.
Hence knowing when one has enough is to always have enough.
[A] The Chines text speaks of "race horses". However {tlha'bogh Sargh} won't
work here, will it?
[B] Would these lines sound better if I put {pagh} in them?
