ITS PLACE IN THE BOOK

"When Allah willeth aught befall a man * Who hath of ears and eyes and wits full share: His ears He deafens and his eyes He blinds * And draws his wits e'en as we draw a hair[FN#548] Till, having wrought His purpose, He restores * Man's wits, that warned more circumspect he fare."
