Aizawa Seishisai's Shinron

While reading Ishmael Reed's Japanese By Spring, I couldn't help but enjoy the quotation of Seishisai's Shinron:

"Today, the alien barbarians of the West, the lowly organs of the legs and feets of the world, are dashing about across the seas, trampling other countries underfoot, and daring, with their squinting eyes and limping feet, to override the noble nations. What manner of arrogance is this!"
