why is it the truth was only recently revealed to me?
  
  
    and received a response of:
  
  
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    54 Marrying Sister
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Advance: misfortune. 
No place will bring gain.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The first line:
    A younger sister marries as a secondary wife. 
The lame can tread. Going is favorable.  
  
    The sixth line:
    A woman carries a basket: no fruit. 
A man sacrifices a ram: no blood. 
No place is gainful.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    64 Not Yet Across
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Not yet across. Continue. 
The young fox, nearly across, 
soaks its tail.
No place is gainful.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Thunder over lake: 
marrying sister. 
The noble one pursues 
far-reaching goals 
while keeping aware 
of possible ruin.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Fire on top of water: 
not yet across. The wise 
one distinguishes things 
carefully, and puts them 
in their places.
