In Ghostly Japan, Names of Incense Used., part 2, sentence 71

Is not the assertion of our “need of divine love” an involuntary confession that we wish to be treated like silkworms,—to live without pain by the help of gods?

Who acts: we, our · What happens: not be, wish, treat, live, need, help · To what, where: assertion, involuntary confession, divine love, gods · Speech: someone speaks here
