"On that day on which a whole year was completed since my lady had been born into the life eternal, – remembering me of her
as I sat alone, I betook myself to draw the resemblance of an angel upon certain tablets. And while I did thus, chancing to
turn my head, I perceived that some were standing beside me to whom I should have given courteous welcome, and that they were
observing what I did: also I learned afterwards that they had been there a while before I perceived them. Perceiving whom,
I arose for salutation, and said, “Another was with me.”
