Tao Te Ching
Scholars say that the originalTao Te Chingis a poem. Like a poem, this version of theTao Te Chingis not meant to be read in one breath from front to back, but is to be at intervals internalized and contemplated. Jane English's haunting black-and-white photos that undulate in and out on every page act as glycerin elixirs, helping the words slide into our souls for patient digestion. The photographs--of a glistening spider web, cloud-enveloped mountain tops, reflections on water, leaves in the sunlight--are as serenely lyrical as the ancient text, itself.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
