Tao Te Ching

“She is the Muse of Poetry herself. Neither intelligence nor artistry have anything to do with it. She is guided by a secret instinct. She recites as the nightingale sings, as the wind sighs, as water murmurs”

— Théodore Faullain de Banville 1823 – 1891 CE
French poet, writer, and major influence on the Symbolist movement.
