Text: So it is that existence and non-existence give birth the one to (the idea of) the other; that difficulty and ease produce the one (the idea of) the other; that length and shortness fashion out the one the figure of the other; that (the ideas of) height and lowness arise from the contrast of the one with the other; that the musical notes and tones become harmonious through the relation of one with another; and that being before and behind give the idea of one following another.

plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various

from each other, and dependent upon each other in so complex a manner,
have all been produced by laws acting around us. C Darwin
