Amjed took him in his arms and fared on with him, halting bytimes to rest, till break of day, when they came to the mountain-top and found there a stream of running water and by it a pomegranate-tree and a prayer-niche.
Then being tired, she stretched herself out on the grass and was soon sound asleep. "Now it so happened," continued Mrs. Meadows, pretending to examine the stitches in Sweetest Susan's frock "that the spring and the pomegranate-tree were under a spell. They belonged to an old Conjurer who lived in a cave close by.
Whenever he had any doubt about the way, Keen-Point would show him, and before the sun was up very high, he came in sight of the pomegranate-tree, with its red and golden fruit, and he knew the spring was close by.
The exquisite panelling of the walls, the endlessly varied stucco work that seems to have been wrought by the deft fingers of ingenious fairies, is shockingly broken and marred. Gigantic cacti look into the windows from the outer court. A gay pomegranate-tree flings its scarlet blossoms in on the ruined floor.
She was very thirsty, very hungry, and very tired. She thought to herself that the old man was very mean and stingy. 'He's afraid I'll muddy the water, she said, 'and he wants all the pomegranates for himself. "Then she drank from the spring, and the water was very sweet and cool.

"These two genii," replied the Chên-jên, "are from Ch'i-p'an Shan, Chessboard Mountain. One is a spiritual peach-tree, the other a spiritual pomegranate-tree. Their roots cover an area of thirty square li of ground. On that mountain there is a temple dedicated to Huang-ti, in which are clay images of two devils called Ch'ien-li Yen and Shun-fêng Êrh.
"The vine is dried up, and the fig-tree languisheth; the pomegranate-tree, the palm-tree also, and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men." Moosehead Lake is a little bigger than the Lago di Guarda, and therefore, according to our American standard, rather more important.
"Aubanel and you will say as I do, when you have read his book is a wild pomegranate-tree. The Provençal public, whom his first poems had pleased so much, was beginning to say, 'But what is our Aubanel doing, that we no longer hear him sing?" Then follows an exposition of the hopeless passion of the poet, how he took for motto, "Quau canto, Soun mau encanto."
