Original

有物混成，先天地生。寂兮寥兮，独立不改，周行而不殆，可以为天下母。
吾不知其名，字之曰道，强为之名曰大。大曰逝，逝曰远，远曰反。
故道大，天大，地大，王亦大。域中有四大，而王居其一焉。
人法地，地法天，天法道，道法自然。

Wang Bi (226–249 CE)

混然不可得而知，而万物由之以成，故曰混成也。不知其谁之子，故先天地生。寂寥，无形体也。无物之匹，故曰独立也。返化终始，不失其常，故曰不改也。周行无所不至而不危殆，故曰天下母也。

James Legge (1891)

There was something undefined and complete, coming into existence before Heaven and Earth. How still it was and formless, standing alone, and undergoing no change, reaching everywhere and in no danger (of being exhausted)! It may be regarded as the Mother of all things.
