78 Those people who shiver with the chills of doubts, They obtain such wonderful warmth from this sun. All that clamour there in the world through the Faiths, They’re all folk-tales; no light have they, not a whit of it. But this Writing shows the Light of God; It brings one to Him through the display of Signs. That Faith which depends entirely on legends, It is not a religion but a narrative of fiction.
