In truth events began to move quickly from that night, but in a way she had not anticipated. Mr. Briggerland, who had been reading the newspaper through the conversation, looked up. "They are making a great fuss of this Moor in Nice," he said, "but if I remember rightly, Nice invariably has some weird lion to adore." "Muley Hafiz," said Lydia. "Yes, I saw him the day I went to lunch with Mr.
Neither the wise king in his marvelous song, nor Ovid in his love elegies, nor Hafiz in his ardent lays, nor Heine in his poems, nor Petöfi in his "Pearls of Love," can describe it it remains one of the secrets of eternity. At the back of the house was a noisy company all the household.
While the benighted Hindoo greets his parting neighbour to the present day with "Khuda Hafiz" God the Preserver the Englishman's "Good-bye," like well-worn coin, has changed so much by use, that now, no stranger could discern in it any trace whatever of the image with which it was originally stamped.
Hafiz will tell the mem-sahib." But Stella shook her head in hopeless unbelief. "I don't trust Hafiz," she said wearily. "Yet Hafiz would not lie to old Hanani," insisted the ayah in that soft, insinuating whisper of hers. Stella reached out a trembling hand and laid it upon her shoulder. "Listen, Hanani!" she said. "I have never seen your face, yet I know you for a friend."
And his mother called him Jan Rah-bin-Ras el-Isan and his father, Mir Hafiz Ullah Khan, called him Ilderim Dost Mahommed." Yes. Without doubt. "H'm!

"My brother was unlike us in some things, Sahib.
Somewhere, if I could but find it, must exist a diary of one of these ancient astronomers and from it I quote in anticipation. Set myself to measure the elevation of Sagittarius Alpha with my new astrolabe sent me by my friend and master, Hafiz, from out Arabia. Thus did I prove the variations of the ellipse and show Hassan Sabah to be the mule he is.
And he forgot the garden of the Villa Hafiz, the pavilion which stood on the hill looking over the sea to Asia, the grave woman who had told him, indifferently, that he could go to it when he would. Nevertheless on the following day he found himself at the garden gate; he rang the bell; he was admitted by Osman, the placidly smiling gardener, and he ascended to the pavilion. No one was there.
And, almost without knowing it, he again sang his song more boldly than the first time: "Ah me! Ah me! If Hafiz only the Sun could be!" And the Voice answered: "Be thou the Sun." And Hafiz became the Sun, and shone down upon the Earth, but, because he did not know how to shine very wisely, he shone very fiercely, so that the crops dried up, and folk grew sick and died.
"Oh, go away, both of you, go away!" So we went away and left her to deal with Liosha. Save for such little excursions and alarms the days passed very pleasantly. Adrian and Doria trod the path of the perfect lovers, while I, to justify my position as President of the Hafiz Society, worked hard at a Persian Grammar. Barbara, the never idle, was in the meantime arranging for Liosha's future.
The poetry of the Arabians is rhymed like our own, and the rhyming is often carried still farther in the construction of the verse, while the uniformity of sound is frequently echoed throughout the whole expression. Montanebbi, a poet who lived about 1050, has been compared to the Persian Hafiz.
