Not illustrated. 1922 Excerpt: ...locks stream o'er thy cheek with art--Rose joined with jasmine--never found apart. But when thou dost those tangled strands divide, Clinging to every strand thou'lt find a heart. B. p. v. 17 And once more, those lines beginning Agar dil dilbarah dilbar, etc., playing throughout on 'heart' and 'sweetheart, ' which may possibly have something of a Sufi tinge: If heart is sweetheart, what's my sweetheart's name?

The double-arched portal, which served as an entrance, was flanked on either side by arched recesses in the wall, the one of which, to the right, had a small latticed window, the other, to the left, an irongrated doorway.
