I am the Mystic Fane which the Hand of Omnipotence hath
reared. I am the Lamp which the Finger of God hath lit within its niche and
caused to shine with deathless splendour. I am the Flame of that supernal Light
that glowed upon Sinai in the gladsome Spot, and lay concealed in the midst of
the Burning Bush.
- The Báb (‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb’)
