Lin Yutang, Arthur Waley, and Wing-tsit Chan] may have been the inspiration, [T. Kinnes] has melded them with contemporary thought patterns to produce an extrememly readable rendering that retains the original spirit. Reminiscent of the talents of Bynner* . . . Thanks for the effort; thanks for the translation!" - Mo Lei-Li
