A moment thus the time a crisped leaf, Held, armlength overhead, will take to fall And then a man was sitting face to face With Ertoghrul. "This is the realm of snow," He said, and smiled "a place from men secure, Where only eagles fearless come to nest, And summer with their young." The Sheik replied, "It was a wolf a gaunt gray wolf, which long Had fattened on my flocks that lured me here.
"The herds, the plain, the hills were mine; But take thou them, and with them this in proof Of title." Lifted Ertoghrul his brows, And opened wide his eyes. "Now who art thou?" He asked in turn. "Oh, I am Alaeddin Sometimes they call me Alaeddin the Great." "I take thy gifts the herds, the plain, the hills," Said Ertoghrul; "and so I take the sword; But none the less, if comes a need, 'tis thine.
The Prince clapped his hands. He knew the appeals effective with such natures. Let the audience come.... Ah, but Again he sunk into thought. Youths like Mahommed were apt to be wilful.

The apparition budded, leafed, and branched, And with a flame of living green lit all The barrenness about. And still it grew Until it touched the pillars of the earth, And lapped its boundaries, the far and near, And under it, as brethren in a tent, The nations made their home, and dwelt in peace Forever. "Lo!" And Ertoghrul awoke. Mishallah!
Heed them, for they shall house their dominion in palaces now the glory of the West, and they shall dig the pit to compass the fall of the proud. Is it this tribe? Is it that? But the seeker never knew. The children of Ertoghrul were yet following their herds up and down the pastures they had from Ala-ed-din, the Iconian. Not knowing their name, he could not ask of them from the decree-makers?"
