The old centuries have passed and the carpet of hatred and
struggle have rolled up, because this age has shone with the Luminous Lights,
glorious bounties, admirable verses, apparent signs, lights which are
dispersing the darkness - alleviating pain - conductive to unity and uprooting
inharmony.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk, Lake Geneva, Switzerland, 1911; Star of
the West, vol. 5, no. 10, September 8, 1914)
