# Kojiki (Chamberlain, 1882)/Section 163

[Sect. CLXIII.—Emperor Sei-nei (Part I.—Search for a Successor to Him).]
His Augustness Shiraka-no-oho-yamato-ne-ko dwelt at the palace of Mikakuri at Ihare, and ruled the Empire. This Heavenly Sovereign had no Empress, and likewise no august children. So the Shiraka Clan was established as his august proxy. So after the Heavenly Sovereign’s decease, there was no King to rule the Empire. Thereupon, on enquiry [being made] for a King who should rule the sun’s succession, Oshinumi-no-iratsume, another name for whom was Princess Ihi-toyo, younger sister of Prince Ichinobe-oshiha-wake, [was found to be] residing at the palace of Tsunusashi at Takaki in Oshinumi in Kadzuraki.
* ↑ For Ihare see Sect. XLIII, Note 26. Mika-kuri signifies “jar-chesunt.”
* ↑ Shiraka-be.
* ↑ In Sect. CXXXI (Note 7) this name appears as Awomi-no-iratsume. Both Awomi and Oshinumi are supposed to be names of places. The latter is the name of a district in Yamato. Its etymology is obscure. For Ihi-toyo see Sect. CXXXI, Note 8.
* ↑ See Sect. CXXXI (Note 5), where however the title of wake (“Lord”) is omitted.
* ↑ For Kadzuraki see Sect. LV, Note 1, and for Oshinumi see Note 3 to the present Sect. Takaki seems to signify “high castle,” while Tsunusashi is obscure. (See Motowori’s remarks on these two names in Vol. XLIII, p. 3 of his Commentary.)
# Kojiki (Chamberlain, 1882)/Section 166

[Sect. CLXVI.—Emperor Sei-nei (Part IV.—Prince Ohoke Cedes the Empire to Prince Woke).]
Then each of the two Princes ceded the Empire to the other, and His Augustness Ohoke [finally] ceded it to the younger brother His Augustness Woke, saying: “Had not Thine Augustness revealed our names when we dwelt in the house of Shizhimu in Harima, we should never have arrived at being the lords of the Empire. This is quite owing to Thine Augustness’s deed. So, though I be the elder brother, do Thine Augustness rule the Empire first,”—and [with these words] he urgently ceded [his claim]. So, being unable to refuse, His Augustness Woke ruled the Empire first.
# Kojiki (Chamberlain, 1882)/Section 168

[Sect. CLXVIII.—Emperor Ken-zō (Part II.—He Slays the Boar-herd).]
The Heavenly Sovereign searched for the old boar-herd who had seized his august provisions at the time when he first met with adversity and was fleeing; and, having sought him out, sent for him up [to the Capital], beheaded him in the bed of the River Asuka, and cut the knee-tendons of all his kindred. Wherefore down to the present time ​his descendants, on the day when they come up to Yamato, always limp of their own accord. So the man’s abode had been well seen and divined. So the place was named Shimesu.
* ↑ See Sect. CXLIX.
* ↑ Motowori would have us understand the text to mean “in the neighbourhood of the river.” There is, however, no difficulty in accepting the author’s statement literally, as any one who is acquainted with the broad, stony beds of Japanese rivers will readily admit.
* ↑ Asuka-gaha. For Asuka see Sect. CXXXIII, Note 11.
* ↑ I.e. probably “whenever.”
* ↑ I.e., “discovered by augury” or else simply “found and pointed out,”—by whom does not appear.
* ↑ The real etymology of this name is obscure but the author’s intention is to connect it with the “dividing” or “pointing out” mentioned in the preceding sentence, which is given phonetically as [mi] shimeki.
# Kojiki (Chamberlain, 1882)/Section 169

[Sect. CLXIX.—Emperor Ken-zō (Part III.—The Emperor Yū-riyaku’s Mausoleum is Disfigured).]
The Heavenly Sovereign, deeply hating the Heavenly Sovereign Oho-hatsuse, who had slain the King his father, wished to be revenged on his spirit. So when, wishing to destroy the august mausoleum of the Heavenly Sovereign Oho-hatsuse, he [was about to] send people [to execute this design], his elder brother, His Augustness Ohoke, addressed him, saying: “To demolish this august mausoleum thou shouldst not send other people. None but myself shall go, and I will demolish it according to the Heavenly Sovereign’s august heart.” Then the Heavenly Sovereign commanded: “Make thy progress, then, according to thy decree.” Wherefore His Augustness Ohoke, having proceeded down himself, slightly excavated the side of the august mausoleum, and returned up [to the capital], and reported that he had dug up and demolished it. Then the Heavenly Sovereign, astonished at the quickness of his return up, asked how he had demolished it. He replied, saying: “I slightly excavated the earth at the side of the august mausoleum.” The Heavenly Sovereign said: “Wishing to be revenged on the enemy of the King our father, I had counted on the complete demolition of the mausoleum. Why hast thou [only] slightly ​excavated it?” He replied, saying: “The reason why I did so was that the wish to be revenged on the spirit of the foe of the King our father is truly just. Nevertheless the Heavenly Sovereign Oho-hatsuse, though he were our father’s foe, was still our uncle, and moreover was an Heavenly Sovereign who ruled the Emprire. So if we now, simply from the consideration of his having been our father’s enemy, were completely to demolish the mausoleum of an Heavenly Sovereign who ruled the Empire, after-generations would surely revile us. Meanwhile the wrongs of the King our father must not be unrevenged. So I slightly excavated the side of the mausoleum. This insult will quite suffice as a token to future ages.” On his thus addressing him, the Heavenly Sovereign said: “This also is very just. Be it as thou sayest.”
* ↑ 靈, read mi tama or tamashihi. We might also translate it by the word “ghost.”
* ↑ The respectful character 奏 is used for this word, and again below we have the First Personal Pronoun represented by 僕, “servant.”
* ↑ This sentence ends in the original with the characters 以參出, which it is not necessary to render into English. They imply that the speaker will come back, and report on what he has done.

[Sect. CLXX.—Emperor Ken-zō (Part IV.—His Age and Place of Burial).]
So the Heavenly Sovereign died, and His Augustness Ohoke ruled the succession of Heaven’s sun. The Heavenly Sovereign’s august years were thirty-eight, and he ruled the Empire for eight years. His august mausoleum is on the mound of Ihatsuki at Katnwoka.
* ↑ See Sect. XXXII, Note 27.
* ↑ For Katawoka see Sect. LX, Note 29. Iha-tsuki probably means “rock-platter,” and seems to have been the name of a little plateau.

[Sect. CLXXI.—Emperor Nin-ken.]
His Augustness Ohoke dwelt at the palace of Hirataka at Isonokami, and ruled the Empire.

[Sect. CLXXII.—Emperor Mu-retsu.]
His Grandeur Wo-hatsuse-no-waka-sazaki dwelt in the palace of Namiki at Hatsuse, and ruled the Empire for eight years. This Heavenly Monarch had no august children. So the Wo-hatsuse Tribe was established as his august proxy. His august mausoleum is on the mount of Ihatsuki at Karawoka. On the death of this Heavenly Monarch there was no prince to inherit the Empire. So His Augustness Ohoda, the fifth descendant of the Heavenly Monarch Homuda, was sent for down to the land of Afumi, and married to her Augustness Tashiraka, and presented with the Empire.

Of these His Augustness Ame-kuni-oshi-haruki-hiro-niha [was he who afterwards] ruled the Empire; next His Augustness Hiro-kuni-oshi-take-kana-hi ruled the Empire; next His Augustness Take-wo-hiro-kuni-oshi-tate ruled the Empire; the next, Queen Sasage, presided at the temple of the Deity of Ise. In this august reign Ihawi, Lord of Tsukushi, was disobedient to the Imperial Decrees, and was exceedingly disrespectful. So the Great Chieftain Mononobe-no-arakawi and the Chieftain Ohotomo-no-kanamura were both sent to slay Ihawi. The august years of this Heavenly Monarch were forty-three.

A Note on the Type
in which this book is set
The type in which this book has been set (on the Linotype) is based on the design of William Caslon (1692–1766). It is a modern adaptation rather than an exact copy of the original Caslon. The principal difference to be noted is a slight shortening of the ascending and descending letters to accommodate a larger face on a given body-size.

# St. Nicholas/Volume 41/Number 5/The Seasons' Calendar

THE SEASONS’ CALENDAR
| When I think of winter, I think of driving snows, Of whirling flakes, and dazzling drifts, And every wind that blows. I think of sparkling night-time With all the starry crew; I think of great Orion On the midnight blue. I think of chestnuts in the fire Bursting and telling fates, I think of sleigh-bells in the dark, Of sleds, and skees, and skates. When I think of springtime, I think of rushing rains, Of grass that springs to meet the sun In all the country lanes; Of venturous dandelions Glowing with friendly gold, Of willow-trees that on the wind Their yellow fringe unfold. I think of apple-blossoms— As if the world had wings!— And gardens that T mean to make In the time of pleasant things. | When I think of summer, Comes sweetness on the air, With roses, roses, roses, Blowing everywhere! I think of ringing scythes; of sails— The outbound fishing fleet; The rhythmic sound of distant oars That in the rowlocks beat: Of thrushes singing in the shade O’er swimming-pools, and all The strawberries in the mowing-field, The peaches on the wall. When I think of autumn, I think of scarlet heaps Of apples underneath the trees Where the gray squirrel leaps: Of towering woodsides’ crimson glow— Bare boughs against the sky In lacy lines: of wings that sweep Southward, with trumpet cry— The wild-geese clanging from the north: Of Indian summer days, And of the first fire on the hearth:— And warm me in its blaze. |

# Konigsberg v. State Bar of California (366 U.S. 36)/Dissent Brennan

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
* Dissenting Opinions Black Brennan
MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN, with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE joins, dissenting.
This judgment must be reversed even if we assume with Mr. Justice Traynor in his dissent in the California Supreme Court, 52 Cal. 2d 769, 774, at 776, 344 P.2d 777, 780, at 781–782, that "a question as to present or past membership in [the Communist Party] is relevant to the issue of possible criminal advocacy and hence to [Konigsberg's] qualifications." The Committee did not come forward, in the proceeding we passed upon in 353 U.S. 252, nor in the subsequent proceeding, with evidence to show that Konigsberg unlawfully advocated the overthrow of the Government. Under our decision in Speiser v. Randall, 357 U.S. 513, the Fourteenth Amendment therefore protects Konigsberg from being denied admission to the Bar for his refusal to answer the questions. In Speiser we held that ". . . when the constitutional right to speak is sought to be deterred by a State's general taxing program due process demands that the speech be unencumbered until the State comes forward with sufficient proof to justify its inhibition." 357 U.S., pp. 528–529. "There may be differences of degree," Mr. Justice Traynor said, "in the public interest in the fitness of the applicants for tax exemptions and for admission to the Bar"; yet, as to the latter also, "Such a procedure is logically dictated by Speiser . . . ." 52 Cal. 2d, p. 776, 344 P.2d, p. 782. And unless mere whimsey governs this Court's decisions in situations im- [p81] possible rationally to distinguish, such a procedure is indeed constitutionally required here. The same reasons apply. For Mr. Justice Traynor was entirely right in saying: "Whatever its relevancy [the question as to past or present Party membership] in a particular context, . . . it is an extraordinary variant of the usual inquiry into crime, for the attendant burden of proof upon any one under question poses the immediate threat of prior restraint upon the free speech of all applicants. The possibility of inquiry into their speech, the heavy burden upon them to establish its innocence, and the evil repercussions of inquiry despite innocence, would constrain them to speak their minds so noncommittally that no one could ever mistake their innocuous words for advocacy. This grave danger to freedom of speech could be averted without loss to legitimate investigation by shifting the burden to the examiners. Confronted with a prima facie case, an applicant would then be obliged to rebut it." Id., p. 776, 344 P.2d, p. 782.
The Court admits the complete absence of any such predicate by the Committee for its questions. The Court attempts to distinguish the situations in order to escape the controlling authority of Speiser. The speciousness of its reasoning is exposed in MR. JUSTICE BLACK's dissent. I would reverse.
