This essay aims to analyze Liang Zong-dai's interpretation and response to Paul Valéry's "mechanics of poetry." As Valéry is familiar with mathematics, there is a space for dialogue between the two poets about the role of scientific thinking in Valéry's poetry and how he enriches his poetic expression with scientific concepts. To highlight Valéry's stress on precision, which is also a trait of scientific laws, Liang seeks support from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's and Jules Henri Poincaré's interpretations on "nature" and "intuition," and interweaves them with the subject/object relationship and the concept of "universe" in traditional Chinese poetics. By connecting poetics and cosmism, Liang has illuminated the meaning of "cosmological poetics" for a modern context.
