25: O Ye Seeming Fair Yet Inwardly Foul! Ye Are Like Clear But Bitter Water Which To Outward

Categories: FROM THE PERSIAN

O YE SEEMING FAIR YET INWARDLY FOUL! Ye are like clear but bitter water,

which to outward seeming is crystal pure but of which, when tested by the

divine Assayer, not a drop is accepted. Yea, the sun beam falls alike upon

the dust and the mirror, yet differ they in reflection even as doth the

star from the earth: nay, immeasurable is the difference!
