Text Appearing Before Image: nd « The assignment of the three tombs, Andreas, Persepolis, 1. pis. 70-73. 320 PERSEPOLIS AND ITS MONUMENTS As we gaze upon this tomb and the others, and then cast oureyes toward the ruins of Persepolis, we can but think with aheart-pang of Omar Khayyams lines : — They say the Lion and the Lizard keepThe Coiirts where Jamshyd gloried and drank deep. Here stood the palace of Darius, there the throne-room ofArtaxerxes, yonder the pillared halls of Xerxes, and not fardistant the tombs of the kings. But all are in ruins; all arerelics of glory past. Yet who knows ? Out of the shadow ofby-gone days, out of the dust of departed ages, out of the ashesof the Simurghs fire, out of the fragments of shattered Iran,there may arise one whose master hand will restore the gloryof the ancient Persian kingdom, illumine again the pages ofPersias chronicles, recall what was noblest in the Parthian ruleand Sasanian empire, and make splendid once more the landand people of the Lion and the Sun. ^I^^-^
