TAILIEUCHUNG - A Fantasy of Far Japan Summer Dream Dialogues

It was a cool summer afternoon in a quiet hotel in a quiet part of Paris. I threw myself lazily into an easy-chair on the balcony and began reading Le Journal. I was somewhat tired and soon felt myself drowsily wandering into dreamland as the breeze lulled me soothingly. I felt myself, as it were, wafted through the air. Soon I found myself in the company of a friend of mine and his wife, though I do not know how all that came about. We passed together through the Bois de Boulogne, now amidst tall, green forests, now along the turfy shores of mirror-like lakes | Fantasy of Far Japan by Baron Kencho Suyematsu 1 Fantasy of Far Japan by Baron Kencho Suyematsu Project Gutenberg s A Fantasy of Far Japan by Baron Kencho Suyematsu This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.

D un doigt distrait frolant la sonore biva A travers les bambous tresses en fine latte Elle a vu par la plage eblouissante et plate S avancer le vainqueur que son amour reva. C est lui. Sabres au flanc l eventail haut il va. La cordeliere rouge et le gland ecarlate Coupent l armure sombre et sur l epaule eclate Le blason de Hizen et de Tokugawa. Ce beau guerrier vetu de lames et de plaques Sous le bronze la soie et les brillantes laques Semble un crustace noir gigantesque et vermeil. Il l a vue. Il sourit dans la barbe du masque Et son pas plus hatif fait reluire au soleil Les deux antennes d or qui tremblent a son casque. JOSE-MARIA DE HEREDIA. PREFACE In the following pages I have depicted certain Japanese ideals and notions as well as some historical facts which seemed likely to interest those of the sympathetic Western public who may be inclined to study the mental side of Japan. The dialogues are founded upon actual conversations not indeed always in exactly the same phraseology nor under exactly the same circumstances
