Sayfa 18 - As you arrive in front of the convent, the court widens, and in the midst stands a magnificent plane-tree of great antiquity, carefully railed in ; while you have on one side the elegant mausoleum in which repose the superiors of the order : and on the other the fountain of white marble, roofed in like an oratory, and enclosed on all its six sides from the weather, where the Dervishes perform their ablutions ere they enter the chapel. The mausoleum is of the octagon form, the floor being raised two...
Sayfa 20 - A deep gallery runs round six sides of the building, and beneath it, on your left hand as you enter, you remark the lattices through which the Turkish women witness the service. A narrow mat surrounds the circle within the railing, and upon this the brethren kneel during the prayers ; while the centre of the floor is so highly polished by the perpetual friction that it resembles a mirror, and the boards are united by nails with heads as large as a shilling, to prevent accidents to the feet of the...
Sayfa 7 - ... only add, by these means, two or three hours of ennui to each day, I am at a loss how to classify it. Their time is spent in dressing themselves, and varying the position of their ornaments — in the bath — and in sleep, which they appear to have as entirely at their beck as a draught of water ; in winter, they have but to nestle under the coverings of the tandour, or in summer to bury themselves among their cushions, and in five minutes they are in the land of dreams.
Sayfa 5 - Mahmoud in his capital overbalanced by the frightful changes that he has made in the national costume, by introducing a mere caricature of that worst of all originals — the stiff, starch, angular European dress. The costly turban that bound the brow like a diadem, and relieved by the richness of its tints the dark hue of the other garments, has now almost entirely disappeared from the streets ; and a group of Turks look in the distance like a bed of poppies ; the flowing robe of silk or of woollen...
Sayfa 89 - NEVER saw the curse denounced against the children of Israel more fully brought to bear than in the East ; where it may be truly said that " their hand is against every man, and every man's hand against them," — Where they are considered rather as a link between animals and human beings, than as men possessed of the same attributes, warmed by the same sun, chilled by the same breeze, subject to the same feelings, and impulses, and joys, and sorrows, as their fellow mortals. There is a subdued and...
Sayfa 16 - Armenians ; as well as the money-changers, who transact business in their immediate vicinity. Indeed, all the steady commerce on a great scale in the capital may be said to be, with very slight exceptions, in the hands of the Armenians, who have the true, patient, plodding, calculating spirit of trade ; while the wilder speculations of hazardous and ambitious enterprise are grasped with avidity by the more daring and adventurous Greeks; and hence arises the fact, for which it is at first sight difficult...
Sayfa 7 - ... or haunts, and woe betide the strange cur who intrudes on the privileges of his neighbours ; he is hunted, upbraided with growls and barks, beset on all sides, even bitten in cases of obstinate contumacy, and universally obliged to retreat within his own limits. Their numbers have, as I was informed, greatly decreased of late years, but they are still very considerable. As we passed along, a door opened, and forth stepped the most magnificent-looking individual whom I ever saw : he had a costly...
Sayfa 7 - In addition to this shelter, food is every day dispensed by the inhabitants to the vagrant animals who, having no specific owners, are, to use the approved phraseology of genteel alms-asking, "wholly dependent on the charitable for support.
Sayfa 20 - I counted four-and-twenty, supporting the dome, are hung frames, within which are inscribed passages from the Prophets. Above the seat of the superior, the name of the founder of the Tekie is written in gold on a black ground, in immense characters. This seat consists of a small carpet?, above which is spread a crimson rug ; and on this the worthy principal was squatted when we entered, in an ample cloak of Spanish brown, with large hanging sleeves, and his geulaf, or high hat of grey felt, encircled...
Sayfa 4 - ... of them, as they passed, languidly breathing out their harmonious Turkish, which in a female mouth is almost music. Then came a third, gliding along like a nautilus, with its small white sail, and bearing a bevy of Greeks, whose large flashing eyes gleamed out beneath the unbecoming fez, or...
