| 8130 | or that the Universe exists for us solely as the reflection of our own souls? |
| 8130 | or the old Chinese teaching that we must seek the Buddha only in our own hearts? |

| 8130 | yet when does the memory of a vanished smile expire? |
| 36783 | A Madman? |
| 36783 | A beautiful thought, the reader will agree; but why could it not be uttered to a Japanese? 36783 Am I not addressing the celebrated author----?" |

| 36783 | After a little while she saw a stone Jizo standing by the roadside, and she said:"O Lord Jizo, did you see my dumpling?" |
| 36783 | Am I demoralized; or am I simply better informed than before? |
| 36783 | And she came to a third Jizo, and asked it:"O dear Lord Jizo, did you see my dumpling?" |
| 36783 | And she came to another statue of Jizo, and asked it:"O kind Lord Jizo, did you see my dumpling?" |
| 36783 | And they mostly make answer,"_ Toutt douce, chè,--et ou?_"( All sweetly, dear,--and thou?) |

| 36783 | And which one may not profit by the wisdom of the youth who knew nothing of science? |

| 36783 | Or perhaps the mists escaped from Urashima''s box a thousand years ago? |
| 36783 | Or that the Universe exists for us solely as the reflection of our own souls? |
| 36783 | Or the old Chinese teaching that we must seek the Buddha only in our own hearts? |
| 36783 | Queer subjects, are they not? |
| 36783 | Save myself and leave the child to burn?... |
| 36783 | Shall not we too become_ Les Revenants_? |
| 36783 | Symbolizing what? |
| 36783 | The man had never mentioned the matter till long after the war-- why? |
| 36783 | Then Jizo said:"What are you going to do with that good old woman? |

| 36783 | Who but Hearn would have chosen this ghastly scene, and described it with such terrible reality? |
| 36783 | Wilt thou drive me from thee now?" |
| 36783 | With dear old Jean- Marie we wait for the return of Les Porteuses, and we hear his call:--"_ Coument ou yé, chè? |
| 36783 | Would he dare to ask their judgment of his sin? |
| 36783 | Would not a second''s such use be as foolish as continuous use? |
| 36783 | Would they smile thus--_if they knew_? |
| 36783 | Yet why should he so falter? |
| 36783 | coument ou kallé?_"...( How art thou, dear?--how goes it with thee?) |

| 8133 | ''So that a man of to- day possessing but one Soul may have had an ancestor with nine Souls?'' |
| 8133 | ''Teacher, how do European women carry their babies?'' |
| 8133 | ''Then what has become of those other eight Souls which the ancestor possessed, but which the descendant is without?'' |
| 8133 | ''What does the Master honourably think concerning it?'' |
| 8133 | ''What is a Kudan?'' |
| 8133 | ''What is there at Yabumura, Kinjuro?'' |
| 8133 | ''Where did he come from?'' |
| 8133 | ''Why do they not stay upon the roof for fifty days instead of forty- nine?'' |
| 8133 | ''Why?'' |
| 8133 | ''Yet a man very imperfect might have had an ancestor perfect?'' |
| 8133 | ( Elder Brother probably is cold? |
| 8133 | ( Has the honzon[ 33] been suspended?) |

| 8133 | 9 Having asked in various classes for written answers to the question,''What is your dearest wish?'' |
| 8133 | And how far can a woman walk carrying a baby in her arms?'' |
| 8133 | And in the deepest love of another being do we not indeed love ourselves? |
| 8133 | And the voices continued until the hour of dawn:''Ani- San samukaro?'' |
| 8133 | And what is the waste entailed upon the Japanese schoolboy''s system by study? |
| 8133 | Are not our ancestors in very truth our Kami? |
| 8133 | Are we not all One in the unknowable Ultimate? |
| 8133 | But does it at present atrophy certain finer tendencies? |
| 8133 | But is not this true? |
| 8133 | But of any who return for that which is not evil-- where is it written? |
| 8133 | But tell me, I pray you, what is the use of having more than one or two Souls?'' |

| 8133 | Do we still think of that infinitely complex Something which is each one of us, and which we call EGO, as''I''or as''They''? |
| 8133 | For a moment only there was silence; then a sweet, thin, plaintive voice queried, close to his ear,''Ani- San samukaro?'' |
| 8133 | For an instant he hesitated; then he said to himself,''What matters it? |
| 8133 | If a cat be left alone with a corpse, will not the corpse arise and dance? |
