"The smiling Garden of Persian Literature": a Garden which I
would describe, in the Eastern style, as a happy spot, where
lavish Nature with profusion strews the most fragrant and
blooming flowers, where the most delicious fruits abound, which
is ever vocal with the plaintive melancholy of the nightingale,
who, during day and night, "tunes her love-laboured song": ...
where the voice of Wisdom is often heard uttering her moral
sentence, or delivering the dictates of experience.--SIR W. OUSELEY.
