| Eryximachus reasons that when various opposing elements such as wet and dry are "animated by the proper species of [[Love]], they are in [[harmony]] with one another ... But when the sort of Love that is crude and impulsive [[controls]] the seasons, he brings [[death]] and destruction" (188a). Because it is love that guides the relations between these sets of [[opposites]] throughout [[existence]], in every case it is the higher form of love that brings harmony and cleaves toward the [[good]], whereas the impulsive vulgar love creates disharmony. | | Eryximachus reasons that when various opposing elements such as wet and dry are "animated by the proper species of [[Love]], they are in [[harmony]] with one another ...
