  ともすれば 暴力ふるう人間は 獣の性の残ればなりけり
67  

In those human
Beings who employ
Violence is still
Prone to remain the
Nature of beasts. 

#1, S6-210B
The reason why
Certain individuals are
Liable to use violence
Is that the nature of the breast
Still remains in them.

    神国と 誇りし日本も情なや 今は獣の国に墜ちける
68   How pathetic that
Japan, which had boasted
Itself as a divine nation,
Now, has fallen to become
A nation of beasts.

蜂の群 見るが如しも大衆の 騒音人の群とは思へじ

69   Not as groups of human
Beings can I imagine them to be
As I observe the din and
Discord of the general population,
Buzzing around like bees.
