THE KORAN
Everyman
Translated from the Arabic by
J. M. Rodwell
1909
INTRODUCTION
Page xxiii
"In addition Sura 18 includes two stories from the
Christian periphery to the north of Arabia; the so-called legend of the
Seven Sleepers"
THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN
Thomas Mann 1855 - 1955
These
were the moments when the "Seven-Sleeper," not knowing what had
happened, was slowly stirring himself in the grass, before he sat up, rubbed
his eyes - yes, let us carry the figure to the end, in order to do justice to
the movement of our hero's mind: he drew up his legs, stood up, looked about
him. He saw himself released, freed from enchantment -not of his own motion; he
was fain to confess, but by the operation of exterior powers, of whose
activities his own liberation was a minor incident Indeed! Yet though his tiny
destiny fainted to nothing in the face of the general, was there not some hint
of a personal mercy and grace for him, a manifestation of divine goodness and
justice? Would Life receive again her erring and " delicate " child-not by a cheap and easy slipping back to her arms, but sternly, solemnly,
peni-entially - perhaps not even among the living, but only with three salvoes
fired over the grave of him a sinner? Thus might he return. He sank on his
knees, raising face and hands to a heaven that howsoever dark and sulphurous was
no longer the gloomy grotto of his state of sin.
