shrine, eating no food, drinking little water, sleeping not.
Mechanically she went through the monotonous motions,
bending her body back and forth, until it seemed like some
mechanical puppet, working clock-like back and forth, her
parched, weary lips uttering only the feeble common prayer
of the devout Buddhist: Namu, Amida Butsu!” (“Save us,
Eternal Buddha!”) | | | Similar Items: | Find |
