'Father, said Fausta, after Gracchus had communicated the happy tidings, 'I cannot sit here let us hasten to the towers of the Persian gate, whence we may behold the encounter.

The truth is that England and Russia are still playing a hand in the game of medieval diplomacy. The puerility of talking of Persia having affronted Russian consular officers or of Persia's Treasurer-General having appointed a British subject to be a tax collector at Tabriz, as the reasons for Russia's aggressive and brutal policy in Persia, is only too apparent.

Persia's decadence and external perils were, however, appreciated by thinking Persians, and a series of reformist agitations took place, beginning with the religious movement of the Bab early in the nineteenth century and culminating with the revolution of 1908.
Persia's prosperity would have received a sudden check, from which it might never have recovered; Greece would have escaped the ordeal of the invasion of Xerxes; and the character of the struggle between Europe and Asia would have been completely altered.

Loved alike by Air and Water Aye must be Thessalia's daughter; To us, Olympian hearts, are given Spells that draw the moon from heaven. All that Egypt's learning wrought All that Persia's Magian taught Won from song, or wrung from flowers, Or whisper'd low by fiend are ours. Spectre of the viewless air! Hear the blind Thessalian's prayer!
And now I will take him to my house. You are safe now, nor need you trouble. For he has given you to me." "Who has given us to you Norhala?" I asked, as calmly as I could. "He" she nodded to the Disk, then spoke the phrase that was both ancient Assyria's and ancient Persia's title for their all-conquering rulers, and that meant "the King of Kings. The Great King, Master of Life and Death."
We have found another Ebn Thaher, who offers to oblige you with equal zeal; and, what is yet more important, with greater courage. Then I spoke to her of you," continued the slave, "and acquainted her with the motive which led you to the prince of Persia's house.
