言者不如知者默，此語吾聞於老君。

LAO-TZŬ “Those who speak know nothing; Those who know are silent.” These words, as I am told, Were spoken by Lao-tzŭ. If we are to believe that Lao-tzŭ Was himself _one who knew_, How comes it that he wrote a book Of five thousand words? CHUANG-TZŬ, THE MONIST Chuang-tzŭ levels all things And reduces them to the same Monad. But _I_ say that even in their sameness Difference may be found. Although in following the promptings of their nature They display the same tendency, Yet it seems to me that in some ways A phœnix is superior to a reptile!
