Tablet of the Nightingale and the Owl PDF Print E-mail

A kind correspondent has brought to my attention the fact that the translation on this site called "Tablet of the Lover and the Beloved" has an incorrect title. This error seems to have occurred because of an error in the contents list of Athar-e Qalam-e Ala volume 4 (revised), as this is presented on the H-bahai site: http://www.h-net.org/~bahai/areprint/baha/A-F/A/aqa4/aqa4.htm.

I have consulted with Juan and have now changed the title of the translation to Tablet of the Nightingale and the Owl. You'll find it under "Nightingale and the Owl". If I listed every tablet as "tablet of", they'd all be found under T!

Tablet of the Lover and the Beloved refers to the tablet in Gleanings, section CLI. It begins: "Release yourselves, O nightingales of God, from the thorns and brambles of wretchedness and misery, and wing your flight to the rose-garden of unfading splendor." It also has the title "Divine Nightingales".
