Therefore art thou called Understanding, O Babylon, Lady of the Night! “This is that which is written: ‘O my God, in one last rapture let me attain to the union with the many!’ For she is Love, and her love is one; and she hath divided the one love into in‐ finite loves, and each love is one, and equal with The One, and therefore is she passed ‘from the assembly and the law and the enlightenment unto the anarchy of solitude and darkness.

Still as I journey through the waste , I see A silver figure more divine arise ; The Christ usurps the horizon for me, And He requickens the forgotten skies ; His golden locks are burning on my eyes , And he with rosy finger points the way , The blood -wrought mystic path of Paradise , That leads at last through yonder icy spray Of Death to the blue vault of the undying day .

Only last night I was bidden by Yusuf,2 that ill- conditioned3 bastard ! to hide my head therein, if so I loved it ; adding that, thanks to the Qazi, there would be no difficulty in performing the task. Both these reproaches are thy fault, Habib ! O beautiful one ! thou hast bewitched me and thou hast betrayed me.
