Note 30 — LAFCADIO HEARN (continued 3)
Reading edition
In the original much more pretty and much more simple:—
Sumi no koromo ni Mi wa yatsusanedo, Kokoro hitotsu wa Ama-hōshi.
"Ink-black-koromo [priest's or nun's outer robe] in, body not clad, but heart-one nun." Hitotsu, "one," also means "solitary," "forlorn," "bereaved." Ama hōshi, lit.: "nun-priest."
