one night from a deep dream of peace, and saw within the moonlight in his room,
making it rich, and like a lily in bloom, an angle writing in a book of gold:
exceeding peace had made Adham bold, and to the presence in the room he said.
‘what writest thou? The vision raised its
head, and with a look made of all sweet accord answered the names of those who
love the Lord. And is mine one? Asked Abou.
Nay, not so, replied the Angle.
Abou spoke more low, but clearly still and said, I pray thee, then,
write me as one that loves his fellow me.
The angel wrote and vanished. The
next night it came again with a great wakening light, and showed the names whim
love of God had blessed and, lo! Adhem’s
name led all ‘Leigh Hunt’. The study of
