Strana 151 - Bridge I see The Hoar-frost King has cast His sparkling mantle, well I know.' " "Heaven!" said Kojiju, smiling, as she took up the latter lines: " 'The night is nearly past, Daylight approaches fast.
Strana 149 - The next is the poem by the Mother of the Minister of State : ' How difficult it is for men Not to forget the past!'" " At least I can't fail to pick one up ! " cried Yokobue excitedly.
