elliott50 Posted December 10, 2011 at 07:50 AM Report Posted December 10, 2011 at 07:50 AM "When he is born, man is soft and weak; in death he becomes stiff and hard. The ten thousand creatures and all plants and trees while they are alive are supple and soft, but when dead they become brittle and dry." (Dao De Jing / 道德經, chap. 76, tr. Waley) [wikipedia entry].
