O thou who art pure in heart, sanctified in spirit,
peerless in character, beauteous in face! Thy photograph
hath been received revealing thy physical frame in the
utmost grace and the best appearance. Thou art dark in
countenance and bright in character. Thou art like unto the
pupil of the eye which is dark in colour, yet it is the fount
of light and the revealer of the contingent world.
I have not forgotten nor will I forget thee. I beseech God
that He may graciously make thee the sign of His bounty
amidst mankind, illumine thy face with the light of such
blessings as are vouchsafed by the merciful Lord, single thee
out for His love in this age which is distinguished among
all the past ages and centuries.
