CHIHAYA, with flowers in her hand, comes from the forest and enters by the little gate. CHIHAYA Still in the garden, Brother, and you are not cold? TAMENAKA (dreamily] How soft and warm it is this sunshine ; scarce a breath of wind stirs the lingering leaves you can count the cones falling in the forest. 57 CHIHAYA It is true it almost seems as if one's breath would make a little cloud on the sky as on a polished mirror ; so tender is the day that coming through the forest I almost feared to tr...ead on the brown leaves lest I should hurt them. And yet, take care, the sun has slipped already far down the west, and in these hills the dews of dusk are swift and eep. TAMENAKA You bring sweet flowers, Chihaya. CHIHAYA The kind nun, Myotei, gave them to me and said the valleys below Kifune are full and full of them, all drooping by the stream as if the running water was the silken woof that wove them. It must be wonderful to see, she said she would take us there one day, perhaps to-morrow, if you are well.
