The Quickening: Unknown Poetry of Tahirih

The Quickening: Unknown Poetry of Tahirih
Author: John S. Hatcher Second Author: Amrollah Hemmat

Product Code: TQT
ISBN: 978-1-931847-83-4
Pages: 261
Size: 6" X 9" X .75"

The Quickening is a newly translated collection of stirring poems by the renowned nineteenth-century poetess Tahirih that deals with a subject that has challenged religious scholars throughout the ages. This subject is the concept of a last judgment or end of time. Tahirih's beautifully written poems show that the Baha'i view of the "Resurrection" or the "Quickening," as the term is translated here, stands in bold contrast to many traditional views. Her poems depict the Quickening as a prelude to a glorious outcome - the galvanizing of our collective will to bring about a just and lasting peace and the unification of humankind. This volume includes the poems of Tahirih in their original languages, Persian and Arabic, as well their English translations.

The King and the Seed

King Karnak is worried. He hasn't long to live, and there is no heir to the throne. So he holds a rather unusual competition to find one. Knights and nobles flock to the palace and the King gives each of them a tiny seed to grow. Grow a seed? Pah! That was peasant's work! These knights wanted a proper manly fight. The didn't want to grow seeds. Still, if it meant they could be the next king, they would have to do it. So, one by one, they grudgingly took a seed from the King. Jack the farmer's son is given a seed too, so he plants it, waters it and waits for it to sprout.....
