| A view of Shiraz, late 19th Century |
He [Mulla Husayn] could not, however, tarry longer in Búshihr. Drawn as if
by a magnet which seemed to attract him irresistibly towards the north, he
proceeded to Shíráz. Arriving at the gate of that city, he instructed his
brother and his nephew to proceed directly to the Masjid-i-Ílkhání, and there
to remain until his arrival. He expressed the hope that, God willing, he would
arrive in time to join them in their evening prayer.
(Chapter 3, ‘The
Dawn-Breakers’)
