A book of this sort has so many debts to acknowledge that it should
be thickly set with notes and references, and yet in writing for
the general reader this is not possible. Therefore I can only say,
speaking generally, how much I owe to many and great thinkers from
those of three millenniums ago down to the present time. I am often
asked to recommend books on these subjects, but it is difficult to
do so, for with regard to many of the Indian thinkers on whom so
much depends their invaluable writings, even when translated, are
hampered with Sanskrit terms very difficult for those unused to
them, and modern writers sometimes assume more patience and perhaps
knowledge than the average man with all the preoccupations of life
has time to possess. Yet he may wish to know. This book is
therefore an effort to interpret, to suggest, and no one knows
better than myself what a contracted statement it is of what a
great subject. Yet I venture to hope there are those to whom my
experiences and conclusions,

CHAPTER II I COULD not piece the story together as I went slowly
back. Perhaps it was better I should not?yet the strange tie that
bound me to the man whose all I had taken, thrilled like a harp-
string. I called my servant, Tazaki, and in a few minutes he had
put the book in my hand. Yes, on the last page?the first of course,
of a Japanese book, was written in a small hand "Miyuki Yama-
shina," with a date of some years ago and the name of a
place?"Haruna." Why, that was here It was to be my expedition of
tomorrow. The Haruna Temple, the wild Haruna valley. Then Lance too
knew it all?the memories of him here would be thick as motes in the
sunbeam. No wonder that it stirred me. as I came up from Maebashi,
for I was entering a soul- complex that might well survive what we
call death and vibrate in the lonely woods where a woman sat alone
and mourned?as I believed. There was also something written on the
inner cover?in hiragana, the running character used much by women
and those who cannot master the Chinese characters. I could not
read it and in any case would not now have done so, but I looked
long at it, for it seemed like a message or a quotation from some
letter, and that space had the air of having been more thumbed and
read than the rest. The secret slept in France and as far as I was
concerned, there it should sleep. I caused Tazaki to wrap up the
book in politest Japanese fashion, securing it with knots of
scarlet twine, and so directed it and sent it to the room Tie knew
she occupied. No answer was returned. I slept ill that night. There
was a crying in the wind that had sprung up; the wooden shutters
rattled; the trees sighed, and in my own heart was a sighing. I saw
her sitting among them, a bowed figure, the smile dropped like a
useless mask from feature...
