Divs Build for Jamshid

Divs Build for Jamshid

From A4.1, The Greatness and Fall of Jamshid. It illustrates A4.1.35–38:

  • A4.1.35
    He bade the Divs reshape the earth with skill,And mix the clay with water at his will.
  • A4.1.36
    They learned which forms could rise from tempered clay,And molded bricks to build without delay.
  • A4.1.37
    With stone and lime the Divs raised walls upright,And works of measured building came to light.
  • A4.1.38
    They raised great baths and palaces on high,And sheltering eyvans opened to the sky.
