The image of Virtue arriving
Yin and yang mutually interpenetrating

Oracle:
Heaven and Earth share achievements;

His activities and affairs are broad and vast.
From west to east, wherever he may come or go,
it is difficult to tread in his footsteps.

Verse:
A young woman stands before the gate,
In the end excellent affairs will come,
Henceforth there will be neither danger nor obstruction,
Enjoy the blessings of fortune, do not be doubtful!

The achievement cannot be compassed.
The perfected advance in their employment,
The petty retire in concealment.

The writer's craft in 82nd Sonnet of William Shakespeare:
I grant thou wert not married to my Muse,
And therefore mayst without attaint o'erlook
The dedicated words which writers use
Of their fair subject, blessing every book.
Thou art as fair in knowledge as in hue,
Finding thy worth a limit past my praise;
And therefore art enforced to seek anew
Some fresher stamp of the time-bettering days.
And do so, love; yet when they have devis'd,
What strained touches rhetoric can lend,
Thou truly fair, wert truly sympathiz'd
In true plain words, by thy true-telling friend;
And their gross painting might be better usd
Where cheeks need blood; in thee it is abusd.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616), Sonnets LXXXII, Commentary

82nd Section of Swedenborg's Worlds in Space (1758):
I was allowed to see what happens when spirits from that world are, once prepared, carried off to heaven and become angels. At these times chariots and horses are seen shining as if on fire, like those which carried off Elijah. The appearance of chariots and horses shining as if on fire is because this is a picture of their being instructed and prepared for entering heaven. Chariots mean the teaching of the church, and shining horses the enlightened intellect.

The more I dive into this matter of whaling, and push my researches up to the very spring-head of it so much the more am I impressed with its great honorableness and antiquity; and especially when I find so many great demi-gods and heroes, prophets of all sorts, who one way or other have shed distinction upon it, I am transported with the reflection that I myself belong, though but subordinately, to so emblazoned a fraternity... Perseus, St. George, Hercules, Jonah, and Vishnoo! there's a member-roll for you! What club but the whaleman's can head off like that?

82nd Poem of Emily Dickinson:

Whose cheek is this?
What rosy face
Has lost a blush today?
I found her— "pleiad"— in the woods
And bore her safe away.

Robins, in the tradition
Did cover such with leaves,
But which the cheek—
And which the pall
My scrutiny deceives.

Line 82 of Walt Whitman's Passage to India (1871):
O, vast Rondure, swimming in space!
Cover'd all over with visible power and beauty!
Alternate light and day, and the teeming, spiritual darkness;
Unspeakable, high processions of sun and moon, and countless stars, above;
Below, the manifold grass and waters, animals, mountains, trees;
With inscrutable purpose— some hidden, prophetic intention;
Now, first, it seems, my thought begins to span thee.

82nd Verse in Tagore's Gitanjali:
Time is endless in thy hands, my lord.
There is none to count thy minutes.
Days and nights pass and ages bloom and fade like flowers.
Thou knowest how to wait.
Thy centuries follow each other perfecting a small wild flower.
We have no time to lose, and having no time
we must scramble for a chances.
We are too poor to be late.
And thus it is that time goes by while I give it to every querulous man
who claims it, and thine altar is empty of all offerings to the last.
At the end of the day I hasten in fear lest thy gate to be shut;
but I find that yet there is time.

Sonnet 82 in Pablo Neruda's 100 Love Sonnets (1960)

As we close this nocturnal door, my love,
come with me, through the shadowy places.
Close your dreams, Love, enter my eyes with your skies,
spread out through my blood like a wide river.

Good-bye to cruel daylight, which dropped
into the gunneysack of the past, each day of it.
Good-bye to every ray of watches or of oranges.
O shadow, my intermittent friend, welcome!

In this ship, or water, or death, or new life,
we are united again, asleep, resurrected:
we are the night's marriage in the blood.

I don't know who it is who lives or dies, who rests or wakes,
but it is your heart that distributes
all the graces of the daybreak, in my breast.

Pablo Neruda
