I merely advertised it with a notable simplicity, thus: 'Nourhalma. A Love-Legend of the Past. A Poem. By Theos Alwyn. That was all. Well, when it came out, copies of it were sent, according to custom, round to all the leading newspaper offices, and for about three weeks after its publication I saw not a word concerning it anywhere. Meanwhile I went on advertising.
The subject of the poem itself was not new to him it was a story he had known from boyhood, ... an old Eastern love-legend, fantastically beautiful as many such legends are, full of grace and passionate fervor a theme fitted for the nightingale-utterance of a singer like the Persian Hafiz though even Hafiz would have found it difficult to match the exquisitely choice language and delicately ringing rhythm in which this quaint idyll of long past ages was now most perfectly set like a jewel in fine gold.
"Write " said he slowly.. "write first the title of my poem thus: 'Nourhalma: A Love-Legend of the Past." There was a pause, during which the pen of Zabastes traveled quickly over the papyrus for a moment, then stopped.
