I'll have none of your nonsense!

From the first stanza, I get the sense that Lao Tzu is saying that there is no real language that can truly describe The Way, as the Tao translates to.

Interestingly, Confucius was shown to have dialogues with Lao Tze (Laozi; Laocius), the founder of Taoism.

Up to now, most westerners, including those oriental educated in the west, always think the knowledge of Laozi as mystifying and worthless nonsense.

Its most famous work is the Daodejing, attributed to a person known as Laozi, who may have existed in the 6th century BCE.
