Sinbad the Sailor and Other Stories From the Arabian Nights. E-book. Formato PDF Edmund Dulac - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
This Sindbad the Sailor has a story to tell — the story of his life — but he never told it to any until, one day, there came to him one Sindbad the Landsman, a man of poor and humble birth. This man pleased him greatly with an apt recitation dealing with the widely different lots dispensed by God to men, and, being pleased, he was struck with the happy conceit that, now Sindbad the Sailor was at last con fronted with Sindbad the Landsman, it would be no bad thing were he to narrate the story of his life so that all might know his strange adventures and conjecture no longer as to the source of his fabulous wealth. Accordingly Sindbad the Sailor held seven receptions on seven different days, and, although on each occasion a multitude of guests was assembled to listen, he failed not to address his words from first to last to his simple listener.

Ta-khai, Prince of Tartary, dreamt one night that he saw in a place where he had never been before an enchantingly beautiful young maiden who could only be a princess. He fell desperately in love with her, but before he could either move or speak, she had vanished. When he awoke he called for his ink and brushes, and, in the most accomplished willow-leaf style, he drew her image on a piece of precious silk, and in one corner he wrote these nes: The flowers of the paeony Will they ever bloom? A day without her Is like a hundred years. He then summoned his ministers, and, showing them the portrait, asked if any one could tell him the name of the beautiful maiden; but they all Shook their heads and stroked their beards They knew not who She was.
