A bath in a river is soothing
to your skin.
But the river cannot replace
the well.
From well water, you sooth
your throat.
So the well has no reason to
fear the river.
The one who swims in a river
Returns home with renewed
vigour.
His desire to swim in the
river
Is not his hate to draw from
the well.
No grace will the well lose
Because his master visited
the river.
No shame does the river has
Because her visitor is not
her master.
One will not desert one’s wife
Because the one courted a tart.
