I repeat the words an abounding exhaustless vitality.
Before the honzon tapers burn in massive candelabra whose stems of polished brass are writhing monsters the Dragon Ascending and the Dragon Descending; and incense curls up from vessels shaped like the sacred deer, like the symbolic tortoise, like the meditative stork of Buddhist legend.
