Line statement
上六
豐其屋，蔀其家，闚其戶，闃其无人，三歲不覿，凶。
The roof is enlarged while the house is screened off. Looking through the door, all is silent and no one is there. For three years, no one is seen. Misfortune.
An enlarged roof hides an empty, silent household, and the line extends the absence to three years. Changing Line 6 makes Fire above Fire, Hexagram 30. Repeated light contrasts with this concealed emptiness.
