When envoys from that distant land... Op. 5

"When envoys from that distant land presented
Zhuangzi with the following question: 'How are men
elevated, how sages became sages, heroes became
heroes,' was his retort both swift and final:
'What is the difference between a tiger and an
audacious cat?' And such a puzzling response
it was, that no answer was to be found, and
those mighty visitors agreed to return in sixty
days to hear the answer.
Yet it is told, that at that moment, a discipline
of that sage of old, gripped by a spirit of
impatience cried out, pleading for answer,
and an explanation was thus formulated:
'Tis a difference between day and night,
on dusk and dawn.'"
