The route you can traverse
isn't a static route.
The name you can dereference
isn't a universal name.
Namelessness is the root of everything.
Names are the mother of everything.
Therefore,
the unchanging, seen from outside the box,
reveals its inner nature;
the unchanging, seen from inside the box,
reveals its outer form.

but different in name.
Their unity is called "the mystery".
Mystery of all mysteries,
the gate to all wonders.
[As Le Guin says, a perfect translation
of this verse is perfectly impossible.]
