The dark element opens when it moves and closes when at rest. The
strictest reticence is indicated here. The time is dangerous, because
any degree of prominence leads either to the enmity of irresistible

one is complaisant. Therefore a man ought to maintain reserve, be it in
solitude or in the turmoil of the world, for there too he can hide
himself so well that no one knows him.
