O Queen in London! Incline thine ear unto the voice of thy
Lord, the Lord of all mankind, calling from the Divine Lote-Tree: Verily, no
God is there but Me, the Almighty, the All-Wise! Cast away all that is on
earth, and attire the head of thy kingdom with the crown of the remembrance of
Thy Lord, the All-Glorious. He, in truth, hath come unto the world in His most
great glory, and all that hath been mentioned in the Gospel hath been
fulfilled. The land of Syria hath been honored by the footsteps of its Lord,
the Lord of all men, and North and South are both inebriated with the wine of
His presence. Blessed is the man that hath inhaled the fragrance of the Most
Merciful, and turned unto the Dawning-Place of His beauty, in this resplendent
Dawn. The Mosque of Aqsá vibrateth through the breezes of its Lord, the
All-Glorious, whilst Bathá (Mecca) trembleth at the voice of God, the Exalted,
the Most High. Every single stone of them celebrateth the praise of the Lord,
through this Great Name.
(Baha’u’llah, from a Tablet addressed to Queen Victoria, quoted by Baha’u’llah in the ‘Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)
