“Seeming, due to his majesty, even when you met him alone, to head an army or a large company, As if the very pearl concealed inside the shell were formed in the two moulds of his speech and his smile. There is no fragrance equal to the earth that encloses his bones. Blessed is he that breathes its scent and kisses it.”
