The four mists of chaos
8 August 2010 • out of context
The Four Mists of Chaos,
the North, the East,
the West,
and the South,
went to visit Chaos
himself.
He treated them all very kindly
and when they were
thinking of leaving,
they consulted among themselves
how they might repay his
hospitality.
Since they had noticed that he
had no holes in his
body, as they
each had (eyes, nose,
mouth, ears, etc.),
they decided each
day to provide him
with an opening.
At the end
of seven days,
Kwang-tse tells us,
Chaos died.
