*Hexagram 27 – Nourishment*
*Nourishment*: Propitious. Observe nourishment; seek substance from within.
**First Line**:
Abandoning the spirit turtle, focusing solely on my swollen cheeks’ expressions brings misfortune.
**Second Line**:
Swelling the cheeks, wiping them with a silk cloth, signifies perilous endeavors.
**Third Line**:
Wiping the cheeks, divining brings peril. For ten years abstain from involvement, there is no benefit.
**Fourth Line**:
Swelling the cheeks is auspicious. Gazing like a tiger, eager to pursue, without blame.
**Fifth Line**:
Wiping with a cloth, dwelling in tranquility brings auspiciousness. Yet, refrain from crossing great rivers.
**Sixth Line**:
To abandon nourishment, to remain in constancy is propitious, but do not undertake great or difficult matters.
