Hello! I study Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine and found this forum by asking google if Vladimir Nabokov ever studied daoism because he is quoted as saying
โDoes there not exist a high ridge where the mountainside of scientific knowledge joins the opposite slope of artistic imagination?โ
This quote made me think of yin and yang and the Chinese words representing a mountain with the sunny side and the shade or dark side represented. Of course, anyone who has absorbed mountain peaks may be struck with the idea of the whole being made of at least two distinct sides.
And the forum made me introduce myself in order to read more. So here I am.
