		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;Translation One:&lt;/b&gt;
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.
The named is the mother of ten thousand things.
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery.
Ever desiring, one can see the manifestations.
These two spring from the same source but differ in name;
     this appears as darkness.
Darkness within darkness.
The gate to all mystery.

&lt;i&gt;Translation by Gia-Fu Feng &amp; Jane English&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;Translation Two:&lt;/b&gt;

The Tao that cannot be told
is not the universal Tao.
The named that cannot be named
is not the universal name.

In the infancy of the universe,
there were no names.
Naming of fragments the mysteries
 of life
into then thousand thins and their manifestations.

Yet mysteries and manifestation
spring from the same source:
The great integrity
which is the mystery within manifestation
the manifestation within mystery,
the naming of the unnamed,
and the un-naming of the named.

&lt;i&gt;Translation by Ralph Alan Dale&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Curiouser an curiouser said Alice!!&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>That may be down to the translation.  I got this excerpt as a quote in a book.  I have two copies of the Tao Te Ching and both translations are very different.  I will see if I can find the relevant passage in them, to see how it compares.</description>

		<description>But the concepts of Yin and Yang are very far from being &quot;identical in all but name&quot;. I was actually following it and finding some sense in it, especially in relation to fundamental science, until I reached &quot;identical in all but name&quot; - ie identical but just given different names.</description>
