Nick’s paradigm for translatory goodness.
The following translation of the entire text has little literary
merit. It reflects, however, to the best of my ability, every
significant etymological and grammatical feature, including every
double entendre, that I have been able to discover in the original
in an endeavor to establish a solider philological foundation upon
which a firmer interpretation of the _incipit_ of Taoist philosophy
might be built.
