私は心のうちで斯う繰り返しながら、其意味を知るに苦しんだ。私は突然不安に襲はれた。私はつゞいて後を讀まうとした。其時病室の方から、私を呼ぶ大きな兄の聲が聞こえた。私は又驚ろいて立ち上つた。廊下を馳け拔けるやうにしてみんなの居る所へ行つた。私は愈父の上に最後の瞬間が來たのだと覺悟した。
translation
As I kept repeating this in my mind, I struggled to understand what it meant. Anxiety suddenly seized me. I crouched down to read. At that time, I heard my brother's loud voice calling me from the hospital room. I stood up again in amazement. I rushed down the corridor to where everyone was. I realized that the last moment had come for my father.
