There is nothing the Simurgh has not seen It has seen all Ages of the world and is cognizant of all wisdom of the Ages O Simurgh - fly again over earth and over water and land for you are the mediator between earth and sky and we shall follow you like the hare on land as you glide beautiful and mysterious in the air – and truly we have great need of you "
