It is a thrill to find the home of The Lambs in one of the world’s oldest and most complex civilizations. Dreams of love and gardens, religious mysticism, splendid palaces and mosques, discoveries in mathematics, astronomy, and medicine. Resilient in crisis after crisis, bending to their conquerors but eventually gaining cultural leverage over them, the Persians ensured the survival of their language and intellectual heritage.

My father contributes his old volume of Herodotus to the loft library. Writing in the fifth century B.C., the Father of History describes how spices are gathered in Arabia. Then he writes, “I have said enough of the spices of Arabia; airs wondrous sweet blow from that land. They have moreover two marvelous kinds of sheep, nowhere else found. One of these has tails no less than three cubits long. Were the sheep to trail these after them, they would suffer hurt by the rubbing of the tails on the ground; but as it is every shepherd there knows enough of carpentry to make little carts which they fix under the tails, binding the tail of each several sheep on its own cart. The other kind of sheep has a tail a full cubit broad [my italics].”
