Describing the people of Bahá, the Most Sublime Pen hath
sent down these words: “These, verily, are men who if they come to cities of
pure gold will consider them not; and if they meet the fairest and most comely
of women will turn aside.” Thus hath it been sent down by the Most Sublime Pen
for the people of Bahá, on the part of Him Who is the Counsellor, the
Omniscient.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)
