I think the Arabic style alphabets are really cool looking, but I"m afraid that to me, they sometimes just look like long squiggly lines with some marks on top! Are the letters just all connected together when you write words? (maybe this should go on the "languages" thread ... ) Quote:

Here's a couple of my favorite "shorties": III:123 "For so I formed them free, and free they must remain, Til they enthrall themselves." (God speaking about mankind) III:210 "Die he or justice must" (God speaking about how sin must be paid for or justice is a mockery) III:236 "Behold me, then: me for him, life for life I offer. On me let Thine anger fall; account me man." (Jesus offering his life to God in place of man to satisfy justice) III:252 "Death his Death's wound shall then receive" (Jesus speaking of his victory over death) III:683 "Hypocrisy, the only evil that walks invisible, except to God alone" IX:239 "for smiles from reason flow" IX:782 "Earth felt the wound" (this was right after Eve ate the fruit - what a powerful picture!) IX:1058 "He covered, but his robe uncovered more." (whew! what a use of words! The very fact that he covered up his body uncovered that he sinned...) IX:1070 "False in our promised rising" (Adam's words to Eve after they realized they were lied to by Satan) X:798 "Can He make deathless death?" (Adam speaking about God) XII:414 "slain for bringing life." (Michael speaking of Jesus' death on the cross to bring life to us) XII:585 "Then wilt thou not be loath to leave this Paradise, but shalt possess a Paradise within thee, happier far." (Michael's profound words about those who choose to become reconciled with God thru Jesus's sacrifice on the cross) Quote:
