- 惜乎！惠施之才，駘蕩而不得，逐萬物而不反，是窮響以聲，形與影競走也。悲夫！ [Traditional Chinese poetry, trad.]
  惜乎！惠施之才，骀荡而不得，逐万物而不反，是穷响以声，形与影竞走也。悲夫！ [Traditional Chinese poetry, simp.]
  From: Zhuangzi, circa 3^rd – 2^nd centuries BCE
  Xī hū! Huì Shī zhī cái, táidàng ér bùdé, zhú wànwù ér bù fǎn, shì qióng xiǎng yǐ shēng, xíng yǔ yǐng jìngzǒu yě. Bēi fú! [Pinyin]
  What a pity! Huizi was a man of talent, yet tracked himself to the wrong path which he took for a road leading to Tao, resembling a man attempting to hold back an echo by emitting a loud cry or he who tries to dash away from his own shadow. What a tragedy!
