notes

"Bahá’u’lláh loved the beauty and verdure of the country. One day He passed the remark: “I have not gazed on verdure for nine years. The country is the world of the soul, the city is the world of bodies...”

– 'Abdu'l-Bahá's words translated by Shoghi Effendi, quoted in Bahá'u'lláh and the New Era [ABU0583].
