The spirit of the valley never dies.

This is called the mysterious female.

The gateway of the mysterious female

Is called the root of heaven and earth.

Dimly visible, it seems as if it were there,

Yet use will never drain it.

I've only ever read the Stephen Mitchell translation I'm enjoying your posts of this one

Wonderful. 🙏 Nothing beats reading the Tao in Chinese, but The D.C. Lau translation is considered one of the best, if not THE best. Seems appropriate to repost this if you are interested to check it out.
