Tao Te Ching - Verse 14

一      yī     one

One or unity appears in the opening lines of verse 14 -

Eyes look but cannot see it
Ears listen but cannot hear it
Hands grasp but cannot touch it
Beyond the senses lies the great Unity-
     invisible, inaudible, intangible
                              Jonathan Starr

As with Verse 11, my personal paraphrase does not pick up the word "one" -

You can't see it,
     it's invisible.
You can't hear it,
     it's inaudible.
you can't touch it,
     it's intangible.
No physical test can reveal
     its presence or absence,
     its structure or qualities.
Boundless and eternal,
     it is beyond our names and explanations.

But if you hold fast to the timeless Way
     you can master the present moment,
     and grasp its historical context.
The Way provides an unbroken link
     to all that is vital and living
     from every age
