"Unfortunately, while fishing I lost my brother's precious fishing hook. I have hunted this shore all over, but alas!
Chamberlain translates the title of this Kami "brave, swift, impetuous, male, augustness." The Records and the Chronicles agree in ascribing to her such an exercise of resolute force that she stamps her feet into the ground as though it had been soft snow and scatters the earth about.
"Augustness, the dull eyes of this slave are blinded with beauty." She laid her head before his feet. "Yet you have depicted, not the Ideal Man, but the Ideal Woman. This was not the Celestial command. How was this?" "Because, O versatile and auspicious Emperor, the blind cannot behold the sunlight, and it is only the Ideal Woman who is worthy to comprehend and worship the Ideal Man.
This cannot be done by realism, imitation or reproduction of the actual; than which life itself is always better. What keeps us from seeing the meanings of life? Personality.
