They occasionally sung and recited spiritual verses but we had with us also an a’bid, who entertained a bad opinion of the behaviour of the dervishes and was ignorant of their sufferings. When we reached the palm-grove of the Beni Hallal, a black boy of the encampment, falling into a state of excitement, broke out in a strain which brought down the birds from the sky. I saw, however, the camel of the a’bid, which began to prance, throwing him and running into the desert.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"> Knowest thou what that matutinal bulbul said to me? <br> What man art thou to be ignorant of love? <br> The Arabic verses threw a camel into ecstasy and joy. <br> If thou hast no taste thou art an ill-natured brute. <br> When a camel’s head is turned by the frenzy of joy <br> And a man does not feel it, he must be an ass. <br> When the winds blow over the plain <br> The branches of the ban-tree bend, not hard rocks. <br> Whatever thou beholdest chants his praises. <br> He knows this who has the true perception. <br> Not only the bulbul on the rosebush sings praises <br> But every bramble is a tongue, extolling him.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Sa+di">Sa di</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=512140" data-title="Ch 02 The Morals Of Dervishes Story 27 de Sa di" data-description="It once happened that on a journey to the Hejaz a company of young and pious men, whose sentiments harmonized with mine, were my fellow-travellers.
