Abstract
THIS poem has an interest beyond that of its artistic form or æsthetic content, for it reveals the effect on the oriental mind of contact with the culture and philosophy of the West. The writer is a firm and devout believer in Mahomet. He has studied Bradley and Bergson, he has taken degrees at Cambridge and at Munich, and he has returned to Persia, more ardent than ever in the vision of a world-triumphant religion, an Islamic kingdom of God on earth.
