私は東京の事を考へた。さうして漲る心臟の血潮の奧に、活動々々と打ちつゞける鼓動を聞いた。不思議にも其鼓動の音が、ある微妙な意識状態から、先生の力で強められてゐるやうに感じた。
translation
"I thought about Tokyo." Then, in the depths of my heart's throbbing blood, I heard the throbbing of my heartbeat. Strangely enough, I felt that the sound of my heartbeat had been strengthened by Sensei's power in a subtle state of consciousness.
