Preponderance of the Great 95 象曰:'A decayed willow produces flowers:'--but how can this secure its long continuance? 'An old wife and a young husband:'--this also is a thing to be ashamed of.
彖曰:Preponderance of the Great. The ridgepole sags to the breaking point. It furthers one to have somewhere to go. Success.

明治十八年(1885)夏,余避暑於箱根,與貴顯某某等同宿旅舍中。一日相與閑遊山野,某貴顯曰:「此間幽閑僻靜,覓一勝地,結一別墅,足以避囂,足以娛老,洵可樂也!足下亦有意否?」聞言亦覺欣然,既而思之,不能自決,為占一卦,筮得大過之恆。

五爻以陽居陽,貴顯屬陽,未可以閑退也。

就其地論,箱根屬在東海道,是為巽木之位,爻曰「枯楊生華」,知箱根繁盛,亦不久矣;且遊客往來,多在避暑之時,過此鮮有到者。「老婦得其士夫」者,以喻箱根之地,名勝久著,若老婦之素有艷名。「士夫」者,少年也,少年聞其名,未涉其勝,是以多來遊賞。究之一過即往,「無咎」亦「無譽」也。且少年人不識風雅,反來作踐,故《象》曰「亦可醜也」。

因謝某貴顯之勸。
