Far from the middle way
The great step was made.
Dark clouds swept all China.
The four olds were weighed.
The earth turned to fire.
Light died, much was lost.
A new way was found.
(some said, too much cost.)
The light grows more bright.
Far from the middle way

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
