"None of this bodes well for the future, for events from the past teach us that passion respects neither rank nor station. For example, the spirit of the high priest Kakinomoto pursued Empress Somedono relentlessly, and it was beyond the power of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to prevent her from yielding to his malevolent spirit. The holy man of the Shiga Temple was also smitten by passion, but he was luckily returned to the true way by the sympathy and skill of the lady he loved. Ariake's passion is unusually strong, and I advise you to keep what I have said in mind when dealing with him."
Yeah, I know, it's kinda boring. But do you know how hard it was for me to find a book in my room that wasn't either entirely in Japanese, or mostly made up of pictures???
Anyways, I will commence with the tagging.
