Oracle Text

Never enough, and never enough—
the heart's deep folds can find no release;
rain clears the wild pond, the moon a hook;
the Handan dream snaps, and painted brows grow sad.

Interpretation

Contentment brings lasting joy; be at peace with your lot. Otherwise comes the regret of a dream that cannot come true. A woman who draws this oracle should strive to cast off vanity.
