# The Gateless Gate/Without Words, Without Silence

Koan number 24 out of 49 in this work (published 1228, translated 1934)
A monk asked Fuketsu: "Without speaking, without silence, how can you express the truth?"
Fuketsu observed: "I always remember springtime in southern China. The birds sing among innumerable kinds of fragrant flowers."
    Mumon’s comment: Fuketsu used to have lightning Zen. Whenever he had the opportunity, he flashed it. But this time he failed to do so and only borrowed from an old Chinese poem. Never mind Fuketsu's Zen. If you want to express the truth, throw out your words, throw out your silence, and tell me about your own Zen.
       Without revealing his own penetration,
       He offered another's words, not his to give.
       Had he chattered on and on,
       Even his listeners would have been embarrassed.
# The Gateless Gate/Who Is He?

Koan number 45 out of 49 in this work (published 1228, translated 1934)
Hoen said: "The past and future Buddhas, both are his servants. Who is he?"
    Mumon’s comment: If you realize clearly who he is, it is as if you met your own father on a busy street. There is no need to ask anyone whether or not your recognition is true.
       Do not fight with another's bow and arrow.
       Do not ride another's horse.
       Do not discuss another's faults.
       Do not interfere with another's work.

Dear Henry James:
If the appearance of this brief dedication would seem to lay upon you the onerous obligation of reading the pages that follow, pray let me make it clear that I look for no such magnanimous return. I beg that you will rather understand that here is the tribute of one who holds your work in such consideration that, having nothing else to offer save his admiration, he takes leave to set it forth in this public fashion, even if only as a prelude to his own disjected pieces.
Yours always sincerely,
H. B. Marriott Watson.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Auf der Höhe

Edition of 1920. See also Auf der Höhe on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
AUF DER HÖHE, ‘On the Heights’ (1865) reflects a period of constitutional political conflict in Germany, and is the most widely known of Auerbach's novels. The central figure is a king whose self-confident individuality comes in conflict with his love of popular freedom. Anticipating the ‘superman’ of later writers, he feels that his nature is cast in too large a mold to be confined by constitutional restraints or ethical conventions. In conflict with a majority of the elected representatives of the people over some ecclesiastical question, he dissolves the assembly in his impatience of any outer control. The same characteristics are manifesting themselves meantime in his domestic life. His queen is a gentle lady of domestic instincts. He loves her, yet finds in the forceful, energetic Countess Irma, one of her ladies in waiting, a spirit so answering to his own that they join to transgress, he the bond of marriage, she of loyalty to her queen. Atonement comes first to Irma, who withdraws from the court into solitude, recognizing that one who would live a life of nature may not claim the protection of the social order. Thus the king is brought to realize that life for its full unfolding depends not only on following the law of nature or the law of custom, but in the co-ordination of them, when man of his own free will yields obedience to law. He dismisses his autocratic counsellors and bows to the will of his people. The stress of this psychic drama is relieved by scenes between the queen and Wallpurga, the little prince's peasant nurse, who passes, as does her husband, through a conflict parallel to that of Irma and the king, though both are saved from straying by their unsophistocated respect for the folk-ways. The contrast between court and peasant life is a primary interest in ‘On the Heights.’ There are translations by S. A. Stern and others.
