Day and night they follow upon one another,
and no man can say where they spring from.
Therefore they must not be allowed to disturb the natural harmony,
nor enter into the soul's domain.

and by day and by night, share the (peace of) spring with the created things.
Thus continuously one creates the seasons in one's own breast.
Such a person may be said to have perfect talents.”
Tao, Chuangtse (Lin Yutang tr)
