Abstract
This classic love tale of the Middle East, quoted by Bahá'u'lláh in the
Seven Valleys,
is prized by Sufi mystics as a spiritual allegory of the soul's search for union with God. A literary-critical analysis of the text yields theological clues.
Notes
Presented at the
Irfán Colloquium Session #36
, London School of Economics (July 14, 2001).
