No sooner had mankind attained the stage of maturity, than
the Word revealed to men's eyes the latent energies with which it had been
endowed -- energies which manifested themselves in the plenitude of their glory
when the Ancient Beauty appeared, in the year sixty, in the person of Ali-Muhammad,
the Báb.
- Baha'u'llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah’)
