From my common knowledge of Asian Studies, I am aware that this poem is created by a member of a religious tradition know as Daoism. Daoism stresses the idea of living in harmony with nature; including not giving names to anything: “The name that can be named is not the eternal name.” In other words the objects of Earth should not be categorized, explained, or named. It is also the religion in which effort is wrong, and things should just naturally flow. Those who usually practice the religion or philosophical idea of Daoism live in the mountains or surrounded by plant life rather than in modern areas. Tao also states “Ever desireless, one can see the mystery.Ever desiring, one sees the manifestation”. To summarize this stanza, Tao expresses how unnecessary it is to be curious and to want to learn about anything in existence; Tao believes that “ignorance is bliss”.
