時が過ぎて行く、と言うのか？―ああ違う！／／我々が言うのは目のごまかしだ／飛ぶような足取りで／眼下の景色を見ながら進む；／／我々が通り過ぎるのだが、我々には見える／動かないはずの地表が飛び去るように：―／ああ、時は留まる、―我々が過ぎて行くのだ！／／ - （ヘンリー・）オースティン・ドブソン［ダブスン］ (1840 - 1921): 『時間のパラドックス』

![IMAGE: The Tao [Way] that can be followed is not the eternal Tao [Way]. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth, while naming is the origin of the myriad things. Therefore, always desireless, you see the mystery; ever desiring, you see the manifestations. These two are the same--when they appear--they are named differently.](https://www.ok312.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-4283139_640-100x67.jpg)
