O ye two patient souls! Your letter was received. The death
of that beloved youth and his separation from you have caused the utmost sorrow
and grief; for he winged his flight in the flower of his age and the bloom of
his youth to the heavenly nest. But he hath been freed from this
sorrow-stricken shelter and hath turned his face toward the everlasting nest of
the Kingdom, and, being delivered from a dark and narrow world, hath hastened
to the sanctified realm of light; therein lieth the consolation of our hearts.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
