That things in their [various] categories are mutually responsive is [something] dark, mysterious, deep and subtle. Knowledge is not capable of assessing it; argument is not capable of explaining it. Thus, when the east wind arrives, win turns clear and overflows [its vessels]; when silkworms secrete fragmented silk, the shang string [of a stringed instrument] snaps. Something has stimulated them. When a picture is traced out with the ashes of reeds, the moon’shalo has a [corresponding] gap. When the leviathan dies, comets appear. Something has moved them. From The Huainanzi I don't know how I feel about this. My mother appreciates these ideas. She really likes the "argument is not capable of explaining it" part. I can't say I feel the same haha.
