老子道德經第十四章
視之不見 名曰夷
聽之不聞 名曰希
搏之不得 名曰微
此三者不可致詰 故混而為一
其上不皦 其下不昧
繩繩兮不可名 復歸於無物
是謂 無狀之狀 無物之象 是謂恍惚
迎之不見其首 隨之不見其後
執古之道 以御今之有
能知古始 是謂道紀
14.
(Of Time)
Can't see it, can't hear it, can't hold it;
Can't even describe it.
Not bright, not dark,
No form, no image.
No nothing.
A beginning? An end? No!
Time, and its passing, is all we know of it.
