The army is ruled by fear and it is this constant fear that brutalizes men not naturally brutal. The Sergeant-Major began to call out the fatigue parties. We felt relieved and thought that at last we would begin to move and get warm. "Fall out Sergeant Waley's party!" A score of men splashed across the mud and lined up under Sergeant Waley. "Fall out Sergeant Hemingway's party!"
The following is a copy of his entry in the diary referring to the subject: "Attended the Marine Board at 11.30; the Alliance Board at 12; at 12.45 returned home and dressed in my uniform. Mr H. de Castro, Mr Waley, Mr H. H. Cohen, Mr Wire, and Dr Loewe came, and we proceeded to St James' Palace to attend the levee. I had the honour to present the Queen with the firman.
John Waley, employed by the Brazilian Government for repairing cables, will procure these ingredients for you. To become visible, you've only to repeat the words, 'Bakra naka taksomana, backwards." "But how about my clothes?" Hamar asked. "Will they disappear too?" "Everything!" Kelson answered. "Hat, boots, tie and breeches. All you have on! Good-night!"
It must however be mentioned that the second dictionary of English and another modern tongue was appropriately 'A Dictionary in Englyshe and Welshe, moche necessary to all suche Welshemen as wil spedlye learne the englyshe tongue, thought vnto the kynges maiestie very mete to be sette forth to the vse of his graces subiectes in Wales, ... by Wyllyam Salesbury.

Waley is called Business Men, and it expresses, perhaps more accurately than I could do, the respects in which the Chinese are our superiors: Business men boast of their skill and cunning But in philosophy they are like little children. Bragging to each other of successful depredations They neglect to consider the ultimate fate of the body.
I do not know of any other country where a poet would have chosen, as Po-Chui did in one of the poems translated by Mr. Waley, called by him The Old Man with the Broken Arm, to make a hero of a recruit who maimed himself to escape military service. Their pacifism is rooted in their contemplative outlook, and in the fact that they do not desire to change whatever they see.
"You must engage the services of Mr. John Waley, formerly employed by the Brazilian Government in repairing marine cables. He will do all you want for the sum of £200." Kelson left off writing, and, wishing Curtis good-night, walked out of the room. "You'll be deuced cold without an overcoat," Curtis called out after him. "Won't you have mine?"
Arthur Waley, blamed him for being deficient in feng and ya, by which we may understand, for present purposes, much what Matthew Arnold meant by 'criticism of life. But does it not serve a spiritual purpose that our consciousness should be lifted on to those levels where personality is forgotten: that we should be made to regain, while reading, the child-state we have lost?
