If I should meet with God in the dusk of a street,
I would ask Him to give me a strong will not to trust in Him.
Jhon Glasworthy (born this day in 1867)
われもし巷の夕暮れに神にあわば、かくは祈らん。
Ware moshi chimata-no yugure-ni kami-ni awa-ba kaku-wa inoran.
我に神を頼まざる強き心を与えたまえと。
Ware-ni kami-wo tanoma-zaru tsuyoki kokoro-wo atae-tamae-to.
