Tao Te Ching, 25th-Anniversary Edition (Vintage)
Amazon Description:
Scholars say that the original Tao Te Ching is a poem. Like a poem, this version of the Tao Te Ching is not meant to be read in one breath from front to back, but is to be at intervals internalized and contemplated. Jane English's haunting black-and-white photos that undulate in and out on every page act as glycerin elixirs, helping the words slide into our souls for patient digestion. The photographs--of a glistening spider web, cloud-enveloped mountain tops, reflections on water, leaves in the sunlight--are as serenely lyrical as the ancient text, itself.

The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao,
The name that can be named is not the eternal name,
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.
