Confucius was gracious yet grave, imposing yet un-abusive, and respectful yet composedly calm. The Master was mild, and yet dignified; majestic, and yet not fierce; respectful, and yet easy. L The Master was affable, yet grave; stern, but not fierce; attentive in his behaviour, and yet calm. G Confucius, in his look, was gracious but serious; he was awe-inspiring but not austere; he was earnest but unaffected. K |
