Text Appearing Before Image: to Central Asia.I felt certain it was not easy for him, too, to say good-by. Ashis yawl-boat pushed off from the steamers side and headedtoward the shore, I could see Mount Ardabil, where Zoroasteronce preached the law, raising its lofty brow, no longer mitredwith snow, but turbaned in green. The color may have beenemblematic of the change of faith from Zarathushtra to theProphet of Islam, but perhaps, like the green bay tree that hassprung from the roof of the Tomb of Cyrus at Pasargadse, itsymbolized the fact that florescence in Persia is still possible,when the season of national greatness once again returns. The wheels of the steamer began to revolve ; I waved good-by once more to Safar and said a long farewell to the Land ofthe Sun as we sped forward toward Baku, whence I was tocontinue my journey into Central Asia, a description of whichI shall give in another volume, supplemented by a historicaccount of Susa and of Eastern Persia, which I hope also tovisit at some future time.

Text Appearing After Image: Peichanak, between Kazvis and Resht
