O ye loved ones of God! The Sun of Truth is shining down
from invisible skies; know ye the value of these days. Lift up your heads, and
grow ye cypress-tall in these swift-running streams. Take ye joy in the beauty
of the narcissus of Najd, for night will fall and it will be no more....
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
