Description
When the time came to leave Badasht and return to Mazindaran, Quddus and Tahirih discovered that Baha'u'llah had ordered a howdah for them to travel together. A howdah was like two seats covered with a canopy. It was carried by a mule, and was one of the more comfortable ways for people to travel in those days. Every day of the journey Tahirih wrote a new poem about the dawn of the new age, and all the Babis travelling with them would chant it with her, until the mountains echoed with their singing.
