He deems the Wild the sweetest of friends, and travels on
where travels above him the Mother of all the clustered stars
TA'ABATA SHARRAN
From Wikipedia:
In this book she described, photographed and detailed her trip to Greater Syria's towns and cities such as Damascus, Jerusalem, Beirut, Antioch and Alexandretta. Bell's vivid descriptions revealed the Arabian deserts to the western world. In March 1907, Bell journeyed to the Ottoman Empire and began to work with Sir William M. Ramsay, an archaeologist and New Testament scholar. Their excavations in Binbirkilise were chronicled in A Thousand and One Churches.
I made the proofing of this book for Free Literature and Project Gutenberg will publish it.
