Who makes these changes?
I shoot an arrow right.
It lands left.
I ride after a deer and find myself
Chased by a hog.
I plot to get what I want
And end up in prison.
I dig pits to trap others
and fall in.
I should be suspicious
Of what I want.
(Mathnawi, VI, 3682-3687, trans. Coleman Barks and John Moyne)
