Excerpt from The Spirit of Japan: A Lecture; Delivered for the Students of the Private Colleges of Tokyo and the Members of the Indo-Japanese Association, at the Keio Gijuku University You ask me how can I prove that I am right in my confidence that I can see. My answer 18 because I see something which is positive. There are others who affirm that they see something contrary. It only proves that I am looking on the picture side of the canvas, and they on the blank side. There fore my short view is of more value than their pro longed stare.
