Samurai (? or sometimes ?) is a common term for a warrior in pre-industrial Japan.
Most samurai were bound by a strict code of honor (??? bushido-) and were expected to set an example for those below them. A disgraced samurai could regain honor and respect by committing suicide by a gruesome and painful means: stabbing himself in the stomach with his own sword, an act called seppuku (??). When time was available, samurai would have a friend or student, called a kaishaku (??, executioner), decapitate them after the initial cut across the abdomen. Even in death, samurai were beholden to honor.


The file http://vaporlofts.com/schreber/personal/flowers.jpg contains the text of Anne Schreber's LJ postings from 14 June "Collective Silence" and 16 June "The Faerie Window", appended after the picture data just before the final Ů.

 		For the first time ever, I get to hand it out: Trout

The stegged text in samurai.jpg was discussed here.

The stegged text in flowers.jpg was discussed here

I know I've seen the text in x.html before, but I don't think it was on that page. I thought it was on one of Paris' pages actually but can't find it right now.

Anyway, remember the actual definition of trout starts and ends with respect. Nice job finding the text.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
many times
we have fallen
we, the angels
and the demons

many times
we shall be resurrected
by man's memory
and perhaps
his devices

like vapor
like shadows, or fog
something brings us
back to this place

where the world
turns round
and should end
yet still persists.
