...perfume of the softest Latakia, and the gardens are musical with the bubbling of countless naghiles; and I must say that to the Christian soul which enters that paradise the whole place has, certainly, a rather curions air, as of a highly transcendental Cremorne. There could be no doubt, however, that the faithful were enjoying themselves amazingly-"right lucky fellows," as we read in the new translation of the Qur An, for so the learned call the Koran of our ignorance.
