When they trod upon the hoar-frost or the snow, they left no footprints ; when tho rays of the sun fell npon them, they tlirew no shadow. They climbed aloft on spiral gasts of wind ; they passed over hills and streams, tread- ing in the air and soaring higher than the Kwen-lwcn Momifains, bm-sting open the Gate of Heaven, and entering the Palace of God ! The snccessoi-s of these men were nnable to enialate them, althongTi they had light chariots, docile horses, strong whips, and pointed goads. ...Wherefore, the wise and good are ever tranquil and have no desires ; they are ever contented, and have no cares. They use the sky as their canopy, the earth as their chariot, the four seasons as their horses, TU-nd the Tin and Tang as their postilions ; riding npon the clouds they soar throngh the fleecy mists of Heaven, and dwell with the Creator.* Pev fectly free and knowing no restraints, theyadvance through the empyrean j going slowly or rapidly as they wish. They cause the rain-stars to sprinkle moisture on the roads, and the wind-stars to sweep the dnst j the Ughtning serves them for a whip, and the thunder for their chariot- wheels.
