The Man in The High Castle, by Philip K. Dick – 1962 (1964) [Unknown Artist]

It furthers one
To undertake something. 
It furthers one to cross the great water.

Ten pairs of tortoises cannot oppose him.
Constant perseverance brings good fortune.
The king presents him before God.

One is enriched through unfortunate events.
No blame, if you are sincere
And walk in the middle,
And report with a seal to the prince.

If you walk in the middle
And report to the prince,
He will follow.

He brings increase to no one.
Indeed, someone even strikes him.
He does not keep his heart constantly steady.
Misfortune.

One must resolutely make the matter known
At the court of the king.
It must be announced truthfully.  Danger.
It is necessary to notify one’s own city.
It does not further to resort to arms.
It furthers one to undertake something.

(Philip K. Dick)
