Text Appearing Before Image:
abic inscription, the tenor of which isthe transitory character of human things and the eternal natureof God; while at the bottom is added the date of the poetsdeath, which is given as the year 1389 (a.h. 791).^ The pres-ent governor of Shiraz has taken pains to have the sepulchreprotected by a large iron grating which is more imposing thanthe old metal cage that formerly enclosed it, and the scroll-work and design show some artistic taste. The stanchions andcorner-posts, however, are iron telegraph poles, received fromthe Indo-European Telegraph Company, and the Shirazisseemed to be almost as proud of these and of the little metalflags that decorate the top, as of the inscribed slab over thepoets dust. 1 See Ker Porter, Travels, 1. 694- 2 gee Curzon, Persia, 2. 109. 695.

It is a fitting resting-place for one who gave thetitles of Rose Garden ( Grulistdn) and Garden of Perfume(^BostdTi) to his two chief works. Within this precinct Saadialone is buried — at least I saw no other graves — and thesepulchre itself is now enclosed within a building. The cham-ber in which the sarcophagus stands is entered through a stoutdoor, and the poets remains lie in a heavy stone case surroundedby a metal network. The room itself is without decoration,but is richly carpeted with a Persian rug, on which the footfalls noiselessly as one moves about the sarcophagus to do hom-age to the memory of the dead.
