Day 123: Disfigured, judgment unfair,
No child she could bear.
Sent far away, her soul had died
But for revenge, her body survived.
So swift may someone meet the end,
At the hands of the horid maiden.

THE GHOST STORY OF YOTSUYA (1959). Must be funny, in a rich man's world? Not if you are haunted by the disfigured corpse of the wife you murdered to get your hands on that money. Spooky samurai tale of a vengeful ghost.

"From wrong to wrong the exasperated spirit
Proceeds, unless restored...
Where you must move in measure, like a dancer.
The day was breaking. In the disfigured street
He left me, with a kind of valediction,
And faded on the blowing of the horn."

T.S. Eliot.
Four Quartets (1941)
