What a radiant face he had! [Mírzá Muhammad-‘Alí, the Afnán – a kindred of the Báb] He was nothing but light from head to foot. Just to look at that face made one happy; he was so confident, so assured, so rooted in his faith, and his expression so joyous. He was truly a blessed being. He was a man who made progress day by day, who added, every day, to his certitude and faith, his luminous quality, his ardent love.
