Vis and Ramin

388 VISRAMIANI
Though openly thou art a light,
in concealment thou art
very dark. Thou turnest like a mill ; thou art full of
water, wind, and dust. When thou dost cast my fate into a
pit, the height of thee avails me not. However much anyone
tries thee, thou art the same and the same, fickle,
perjured, treacherous, and faithless. He who knows thy
habits continually curses thee.
