“Those who want to see Adam in his essence,
Enoch in his ascension, Noah in his endurance,
Hod in his calling, Saleh in his ethics, Abraham

Moses in his grit, Aaron in his approach, David
in his diction, Solomon in his cultural tolerance,
Elijah in his solitude, Elisha in his insight, Job in
his gratitude, Jonah in his awareness, Ezekiel in
his acceptance, Daniel in his caution, Zechariah

Jesus Christ in his universal brotherhood should
look at the spirituality of the man from the east.”
