Weary in body, Mei-chieh was just dimly closing her eyes, when she was aroused by a fresh touch, and, thinking that the same bonze had returned, said in surprise: "What? Are you able to come back again, when even I am so tired?" But he answered without a pause: "You are making a mistake! I have but just come, and the saviour of my comforts is as yet unknown to you." "But, I am tired...."
Tai-yue also smiled while suggesting: The broom, with which the bonze sweepeth the hill, is sunk in snow. Pao-ch'in too smilingly cried: The young lad takes away the lute interred in snow. Hsiang-yuen laughed to such a degree that she was bent in two; and she muttered a line with such rapidity that one and all inquired of her: "What are you, after all, saying?"
The term Shaman, a Pali word, was originally a pure Buddhist term meaning one who has separated from his family and his passions. One of the designations of the Buddha was Shamana-Gautama. The same word, Shamon, in Japanese still means a bonze, or Buddhist priest.
"But that other body found in the blasted field of Aceldama!" demanded the agitated Effinghame. Dr. Arn did not answer. After a lugubrious pause, he whispered: "There's more to follow. You haven't heard the worst." "What more! I thought your damnable old Bonze died in the odour of sanctity over there in his Yellow Kingdom." "True. He died. But before he died he recorded a vision he had.
"The hoary woman, she who slept with me in the cavern." "That aged crone thy daughter, daughter to thee so youthful and so fresh? "Even so," she said, "I bore her at sixteen, and slumbered for seventy years. When I awoke she was withered and decrepit: I youthful as when I closed my eyes. But she had learned the secret, which I never knew." "The Bonze shall be crucified!" yelled the Emperor.
The unexpected visit of the bonze and Taoist priest rendered, however, superfluous the services of the various male attendants, and Chia-yuen had therefore to go again and oversee the men planting the trees.
For years had he, the Second Bonze, pleaded the cause of toleration at court; and had at length succeeded in enlightening his Majesty to such an extent that there was every prospect of an edict of indulgence being shortly promulgated, provided always that the Elixir of Life was previously forthcoming.
And then he realized that the pear-tree which the bonze had chopped down must have been his axle. The bonze, however, was nowhere to be found. And the whole crowd in the market burst out into loud laughter. Once upon a time there was a man who took a child to a woman in a certain village, and told her to take care of him. Then he disappeared.
I must admit that this episode of my childhood and the spiders, have little to do with the story of Chrysanthème. But an incongruous interruption is quite in keeping with the taste of this country; everywhere it is practiced, in conversation, in music, even in painting; a landscape painter, for instance, when he has finished a picture of mountains and crags, will not hesitate to draw in the very middle of the sky a circle, or a lozenge, or some kind of framework, within which he will represent anything incoherent and inappropriate: a bonze fanning himself, or a lady taking a cup of tea. Nothing is more thoroughly Japanese than such digressions made without the slightest
An altar or table covered with dainties stood in the middle of the temple, surrounded by idols; and in a room behind it was another altar, surmounted with a statue of Josi. An old bonze or priest of venerable aspect, with a long white beard, stood up, reciting some prayers in a low voice. He had on his head a white straw-hat, in the shape of a cone.
