Koremitsu wrapped the body and took it to a temple on mount Higashi. He happened to know the nun over there. Barely conscious, Genji made his way back to Nijo. In the evening, he went to the temple. The girl's face was unchanged and very pretty. The grand tone in which the worthy monk, the son of a nun, was reading a sutra brought on what Genji thought must be the full flood tide of his tears. Ukon, lying behind a screen, wept too.
