A Ride to India across Persia and Baluchistan

CHAPTER VIII
15/56

A visit to a departed one's grave is generally an excuse for a picnic in Persia.
Hard by the tomb of Hafiz is a garden, one of many of the kind around Shiraz.

It is called "The Garden of the Seven Sleepers," and is much frequented in summer by Shirazis of both sexes.

A small open kiosk, in shape something like a theatre proscenium, stands in the centre, its outside walls completely hidden by rose and jasmine bushes.

Inside all is gold moulding, light blue, green, and vermilion.

A dome of looking-glass reflects the tesselated floor.
