Excerpt from In Ghostly JapanDo not fear, my son, said the Bodhisattva, guiding: danger there is none, though the way be grim.Under the stars they climbed, fast, fast, mounting by help Of power superhuman. High zones of mist they passed; and they saw below them, ever widening as they climbed, a soundless flood Of cloud, like the tide of a milky sea.
