With the pencilled notes throughout of the poet and critic Derek Stanford. "The vision of Laotzu, who saw the truth of the essential paradox in all things, who knew that he governs best who governs least and that he knows most who never speaks, can still be of great help and interest to us today. His way of life was the way of poise, serenity, and complete assurance. His gentle warnings of the futility of egoistic struggle explain much of the quiet strength and perspective the East has and the West needs" (publisher's blurb).
