Showing 1-1 of 1
“A Pharaoh said, “I am God” and was laid low; a Mansur
(Hallaj) said, “I am God” and was saved.
The former “I” is followed by God’s curse and the latter
“I” by God’s mercy, O loving man;
For that one (Pharaoh) was a black stone, this one (Hallaj) a
cornelian; that one was an enemy to the Light, and this one
passionately enamoured (of it).”
