Hello Lydia.
I am very glad you thought the story of Tahirih was interesting.
I am totally Swedish speaking, although I know some Finnish and Danish. I lived in Denmark for some years. My daughter has a Dane as father.
I am constantly trying to enlarge my English vocabulary.
The language that I enjoy most to listen to is Russian. It is so touching. It may be that I am moved because I know that the Russian people with their rich culture.,have been hidden to us for 70 years. And now that we see you moving around, having more freedom I , at least, am much moved and happy for you. Very happy. I have a lot of Russian shares, in the stock market. I believe, everything is just going to be better and better for you all, out there in the east.
You are blessed because your ambassador saved the Lord Bahaullah out of the Black Pit in Tihran.
I like to listen to English as it is spoken in England, even the funny cockney and Scottish dialects are nice, not to mantion Irish English. I was in Ireland, and lived with them for more than seven weeks when I was young. I didn-'t want to home. I loved their songs and their English. I dreamt in English.
But Russian. It is so rich and gives you so much under the surface.
I have to make some research among my older Bahai books to find that quote. There is a Swedish author by the name Sverre Holmsen who has first found these quotations. I'll come back with an answer.
Here is another quote attributed to Leo Tolstoy, which I have to find out about. "Bahaullah is now giving us the finest (expression?) of Religious Revelation."
Bye and
"Thanks for the word" as we say in Swedish
Laila
