We, of the East, have sounded depth on depth, Only to find beneath the deeper depths Sttl! others, dar , unfathomed and profound! Out of the farthest limits thought can reach. Through Buddhism we voyaged — but to see Ever the far horizon, far recede. As children playing by a little stream. Familiar with the still darl{ pools that lie Beneath the willows, and the flattening whirl Of waters, a sharp gust sends shivering by, And all the noisy babbie over stones, With the white foam of miniature cascades.

And you would sail to — nowhere — since you saw The Infinite across the sands of Time! — Lafcadio Hearn.
