But to Riki—he knows—I brought him my full belief—my all-in-all.
THE GAKI
Your perfect faith.
AOYAGI
Ay, my perfect faith.—He spoke to me and then I bowed to my august lord.—I followed him without question.—And he forgets so soon.
THE GAKI
Are you sure he has forgotten?
AOYAGI
You know—you saw the lady from Ishiyama.
THE GAKI
True.—I saw her.
AOYAGI
You did not meet him on the path.
THE GAKI
True.—I did not meet him on the path.
AOYAGI
He crossed the stream.
THE GAKI
Perhaps to shorten the way.
AOYAGI
He met her in a little glade.—Hai!
THE GAKI
What shall you do?
AOYAGI
I'll go my way. I'll return to Obaa-San.
THE GAKI
I'll guide you down the mountain side.—Come, we'll take the shorter way—the by-paths—across the stream—through the little glade—
AOYAGI (She looks about once more at the scene of her happiness)
Hai!
THE GAKI
Come!
AOYAGI
No, let us go down the path.—I want to see my footprints—side by side with his.
THE GAKI
Perhaps they're being crushed under the feet of the lady from Ishiyama!
[Aoyagi starts a moment as though to fly along the path before the lady comes.—She sways slowly—and then falls in a pitiful little heap.—The Gaki takes her in his arms and, utterly triumphant, starts up the mountain-side.
We'll go up—up—sweet Aoyagi, to the snow peak—gleaming in the sun.—You'll find the mountain-top—not lost in the sky.—Your perfect faith!—Oh, you silly human—oh, futile love—climb, Aoyagi—climb without love.—But first we'll make footprints for the lover's eyes.—Blindness will lead him to the mists at Kyushu.—Jealousy will lead you to the lonely stars.
[He holds Aoyagi so that her feet touch the ground—toward the downward path. Then with a wild laugh, he turns toward the mountain top. As the laughter dies, the voice of Riki is heard calling
Aoyagi! Aoyagi!… Oi!
[The laugh of The Gaki is heard once more very far away—as he ascends the mountain with his burden.
RIKI
Aoyagi!—Aoyagi!
[Riki comes running in. Presently he sees the footprints.
Oi!—Aoyagi!
[He runs down the path.
Aoyagi!—Aoyagi!
[Far, very far away The Gaki's laugh is heard.
RIKI
Aoyagi!—Aoyagi!
[Night has fallen slowly.

Your perfect faith.
