Merezhkovsky, Dmitry Sergeyevich. Polnoe sobranie sochinenii. (Moskva : Tip. I.D. Sytina, 1914).
Er schreibt : "The Chinese are perfect yellow-faced positivists ; the Europeans are still imperfect white-faced Chinese. Here is the main 'yellow peril' – not outside, but inside ; not in China's coming to Europe, but in Europe's coing to China. Our faces are still white, but under the white skin there already flows not that previously thick, scarlet, Aryan blood, but a more and more 'yellow' blood similar to the Mongolian inchor. The shape of our eyes is straight but the look is beginning to squint, to narrow. And the straight white light of the European day is turning into an oblique 'yellow' light of the setting sun of China or the rising sun of Japan."
