from The Lathe of Heaven (Ursula K. Le Guin, 1971), chapter 3
English text is a modified version of a translation by James Legge, which Le Guin would later say she learned was inaccurate. Chinese text added by a previous owner of my copy.

When they came and told me that [Major-General] Legge was ill, and could not speak as a result of a sore throat, I could imagine no more terrible affliction for him, and that that would probably be the punishment meted out to him on the Day of Judgement...
Lieutenant-General William Birdwood in a letter to Australian Governor General Ronald Munro-Ferguson on the removal of Australian general James Gordon Legge on the pretence of illness.
Legge was an avid nationalist when it came to the Australian military, making him quite unpopular with British and more imperial minded officers.
匏有苦葉、濟有深涉。 深則厲、淺則揭。
The gourd has [still] its bitter leaves, And the crossing at the ford is deep. If deep, I will go through with my clothes on; If shallow, I will do so, holding them up.
有瀰濟盈、有鷕雉鳴。 濟盈不濡軌、雉鳴求起牡。
The ford is full to overflowing; There is the note of the female pheasant. The full ford will not wet the axle of my carriage; It is the pheasant calling for her mate.
雝雝鳴鴈、旭日始旦。 士如歸妻、迨冰未泮。
The wild goose, with its harmonious notes, At sunrise, with the earliest dawn, By the gentleman, who wishes to bring home his bride, [Is presented] before the ice is melted.
招招舟子、人涉卬否。 人涉卬否、卬須我友。
The boatman keeps beckoning; And others cross with him, but I do not. Others cross with him, but I do not; - I am waiting for my friend.
