Excerpt from Modern Arabia Displayed: In Four Tales Illustrative of the Manners and Customs of the Arabians in the Last Century
The pomegranates began to fail, and the supply of figs became scanty: the pilgrims looked with anxiety for the beautiful towers Of the mosque Of Mecca, the glory Of. Arabia, and-the envy Of the world, where one hundred gates turn on their golden hinges, and admit true Mus sulmen to pay their homage at the shrine Of Mahomet. The merchants grew weary with the length of their' travail, and thirsted for the moment when they might find repose, and 'lay their ponderous bales before the wealthy residents of the capi tal Of Arabia.
