There is a dish of sharks' fins and of sea-slug, well set in birds' nests ... oh!

Also there is a soufflé most exquisite of Chow-Chow.

But I have never tasted anything to match the

COMMENTARY (ΠΖ)

This chapter is technically one of the Laylah chapters.

It means that, however great may be one's own achievements the gifts from on high are still better.

The Sigil is taken from a Gnostic talisman, and refers to the Sacrament.
