I got this partial translation of Zhuangzi since it was a lot cheaper than the complete Burton Watson translation and from looking into both Ziporyn's writing and notes seemed a lot better. I was also mostly interested in the inner chapters at the time.
Now that Ziporyn released a full translation, is it worth buying the Complete edition for the extra commentaries?

>Her life's breath wrought a transformation and she had a body. Her body wrought a transformation and she was born. Now there is yet another transformation and she is dead. She is like the four seasons in the way that spring, summer, autumn and winter follow each other.
>She is now at peace, lying in her chamber, but if I were to sob and cry it would certainly appear that I could not comprehend the ways of destiny.
>This is why I stopped.
