In the box-style I Ching
Hexagram 34,
The Power of the Great,
is represented by
.Art is represented
by a box
(Hexagram 20,
Contemplation, View)
.And of course
great art
is represented by
an X in a box.
(Hexagram 2,
The Receptive)
.“… as a Chinese jar still
Moves perpetually
in its stillness”“… at the still point,
there the dance is.”– T. S. Eliot
A Jungian on this six-line figure:
“They are the same six lines that exist in the I Ching…. Now observe the square more closely:
four of the lines are of equal length, the other two are longer…. For
this reason symmetry cannot be statically produced and a dance results.”
– Marie-Louise von Franz,
Number and Time
For those who prefer
technology to poetry,
there is the Xbox 360.(Today is day 360 of 2005.)
