"_The third of these heroes, the blind Arabah._" -- Gibbon.
/ And one brought pearls and one brought passion-flowers / To blind Arabah as he lay in dreams, / And one brought visions of the after hours. / And he beheld the rainbow-rolling streams / Of Eden on harmonious sands of gold, / And battlements, builded of prismatic beams. / He was not sightless now, nor weak, nor old; / For lo! the dark-eyed girls of Paradise / Rained on him gifts and kisses.
