🌲 In Ghostly Japan, Names of Incense Used., part 7, sentence 43

But the night-howl of the white creature in my close forces me to wonder whether she does not _mentally_ see something really terrible,—something which we vainly try to keep out of moral consciousness: the ghoulish law of life.

Who acts: night howl, evidence, we, white creature · What happens: wonder, not _, see, try, keep out, howl · To what, where: something, moral consciousness · Speech: someone speaks here
