Let me clarify. With most classic texts, we have, at bare minimum, two translations. In this case, however, we have only one. Since the act of translation is more an art form than anything else, I was simply saying that I hope he got it right because we have nothing to compare or contrast it to.The Rambling Taoisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730292897416827840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-75812144350157792122009-10-24T11:30:11.155-07:002009-10-24T11:30:11.155-07:00Sorry, your earlier comment:

I ...I've never read anything by Cleary before.<br /><br />I will tackle the <i>Chuang Tzu</i> at some point, probably next year.
