Shibli Bagarag would have halted here to breathe the cool refreshingness of the air, but the old woman would not; and she hurried on even to the opening of a spacious Hall, and in it slaves in circle round a raised seat, where sat one that was their lord, and it was the Chief Vizier of the King.

Conjecture of my state, after hovering timidly in dread of relapses, settled and assured me I was lying baked, half-buried in an old river-bed; moss at my cheek, my body inextricable; water now and then feebly striving to float me out, with horrid pain, with infinite refreshingness.

I do not doubt that the scenery must have been very inspiring in person, but once reduced to this little lo-res vidjo, it most certainly doesn't convey the refreshingness and quietude for the mind of being there with all your senses, however, the soundtrack is very pleasant, I find it cozy like under a throw on the sofa with a cup of tea and NatGeo on TV on a rainy day in the fifties temperature, and it is well in-synch with the images, besides, I am able to imagine and extrapolate from the information available and I can tell you that it would have a real impact if projected with iMAX technology and surround sound.
