In Ghostly Japan, Names of Incense Used., part 7, sentence 34

To-day we have ceased to be consciously afraid of the unseen;—knowing that we ourselves are supernatural,—that even the physical man, with all his life of sense, is more ghostly than any ghost of old imagining: but some dim inheritance of the primitive fear still slumbers in our being, and wakens perhaps, like an echo, to the sound of that wail in the night.

Who acts: we, that, dim inheritance · What happens: cease, be, know, man, ghost, inherit · To what, where: we, old imagining, primitive fear · Speech: someone speaks here
