In Ghostly Japan, Names of Incense Used., part 7, sentence 15

The ghastliness of the performance is chiefly—though not entirely—in the goblin mockery of the laughing tones as contrasted with the piteous agony of the wailing ones: an incongruity that makes you think of madness.

Who acts: ghastliness, incongruity, you · What happens: be, laugh, contrast, make, think, mock · To what, where: laughing tones, you
