Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Taoist Texts: Ethical, Political and Speculative
Tao that mountains are high and abysses deep; that beasts walk and birds ?y; that the sun and moon are bright, and the stars revolvein their courses. 3 it When the Spring-winds blow, the sweet rain falls, and all things live and grow: The feathered ones brood and hatch, the furry ones breed and bear; plants and trees put forth all their glorious exuberance of foliage, [birds lay eggs, and animals produce their offspring; no action is visible outwardly, and yet the work is completed. Shadowy and indistinct! It has no form. Indistinct and shadowy! Its resources have no end. Hidden and obscure it reinforces all things out of formlessness. Penetrating and permeating everything I it never acts in vain.
