CHAPTER V - CONFUCIANISM IN ITS PHILOSOPHICAL FORM

"After a thousand years the pine decays; the flower has its
glory in blooming for a day."--Hakkyoi, Chinese Poet of the Tang
Dynasty.

"The morning-glory of an hour differs not in heart from the
pine-tree of a thousand years."--Matsunaga of Japan.

"Since Iyeyasu, his hair brushed by the wind, his body anointed
with rain, with lifelong labor caused confusion to cease and
