Had you believed in Me, O wayward generation, every one of
you would have followed the example of this youth, who stood in rank above most
of you, and willingly would have sacrificed himself in My path. The day will
come when you will have recognised Me; that day I shall have ceased to be with
you.”
- The Báb (The last words of the Báb to the gazing multitude as the
regiment was preparing to fire the final volley; quoted in The Dawn-Breakers’
by Nabil, translated and edited by Shoghi Effendi)
