__  __ Hexagram Thirty-Two:  
       Heng / Durability

Arousing Thunder
and penetrating Wind,
close companions
in any storm:
The Superior Person
possesses a resiliency
and durability
that lets him remain
firmly and faithfully
on course.

Such constancy
deserves success.


Hexagram Thirty-Two/Line One:
He pledges his love too hastily,
and awaits her promise in return.
This stunts the natural growth 
of affection.


Hexagram Thirty-Two/Line Two:
These bad feelings will pass.


Hexagram Thirty-Two/Line Three:
He must remain constant,
or the only permanence 
will reside in disgrace.


Hexagram Thirty-Two/Line Four:
No game in the field.


Hexagram Thirty-Two/Line Five:
To submit to insult
is to invite injury.


Hexagram Thirty-Two/Line Six:
Constant only in his inconstancy,
even fortune is eventually exhausted.
