To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are women there, happy women, with their babies in their arms, while mine are empty. There are others there in'* sorrow, laying their offerings at the feet of Kwan-yin. They do not know that she does not feel, nor care, for womankind.
She sits upon her lotus throne and laughs at mothers in despair. How can she feel, how can she know, that thing of gilded wood and plaster.?
I stay upon my terrace, I live alone within my court of silent dreams. For me there are no Gods.
Chinese Courtyard 95... XXXIX They have brought to me from the market- place a book of a new God. I would not read it. I said, "There are too many Gods — why add a new one? I have no candles or incense to lay before an image." But — I read and saw within its pages that He gave rest and love and peace. Peace — what the holy man desired, the end of aU things — peace. And I, I do not want to lose the gift of memory; I want remembrance, but I want it without pain.
The cherry-blossoms have bloomed and passed away. They lingered but a moment's space, and, like my dream of spring, they died.
