“History knew the truth. History was the most inhuman product of humanity. It scooped up the whole of human will and, like the goddess Kali in Calcutta, dripped blood from its mouth as it bit and crunched.”

A worthy conclusion to the series, and I'm thankful to have read it. After not enjoying The Sailor Who Fell, this tetralogy has me more intrigued to read even more of Mishima's work.
