Commentary

Fire buried beneath the earth finds expression as thunder resting in the lake — Following, where one adapts to circumstance and endures. 'Treading on ice and frost, though beset, never exhausted.' The traveler walks through frozen danger yet refuses to be consumed by it. Then the image shifts: 'A sparrow-hawk climbs the cliff, and in the end there is no calamity.' The bird that finds footing on barren rock demonstrates resourceful adaptation. From Darkening of the Light to Following, the transformation shows how buried light survives by moving with conditions rather than resisting them. Thunder beneath the lake at nightfall signals retreat into rest — the gentleman follows the darkening and finds shelter, preserving himself for a brighter hour.
