A residence in the countryside

After years of strict confinement in the city of ‘Akká, Bahá’u’lláh found great enjoyment at Mazra‘ih. In one tablet He describes in cheerful language the view of the sea on one side and the hills of Galilee on the other, and speaks of the charm of the trees laden with oranges that He likens to balls of fire.
