Book 18: 《微子》 Wei Zi
《微子》 Passage 18.5
楚狂接輿歌而過孔子曰：「鳳兮！鳳兮！何德之衰？往者不可諫，來者猶可追。已而，已而！今之從政者殆而！」孔子下，欲與之言。趨而辟之，不得與之言。
Legge Translation (1861)
The madman of Chu, Jieyu, passed by Confucius, singing and saying: "O Feng! O Feng! How is your virtue degenerated! As to the past, reproof is useless; but the future may still be provided against. Give up your vain pursuit. Give up your vain pursuit. Peril awaits those who now engage in affairs of government."Confucius alighted and wished to speak with him, but Jieyu hastened away, so that he could not speak with him.
