Siavash Appears to Tus in a Dream

From B13.17, Tus Sees Siavash in a Dream. It illustrates B13.17.1–10:

B13.17.1
One night, when drumbeat marked the darkened hour,Tus slept, heart-seared beneath grief’s heavy power.
B13.17.2
From water’s depth a sudden radiance came,And through the darkness rose a living flame.
B13.17.3
An ivory throne stood radiant in its light,With Siavash enthroned there, crowned and bright.
B13.17.4
His smiling lips and gentle speech drew near,His sun-bright face shone radiant and clear.
B13.17.5
He turned to Tus and spoke, his words sincere:“Keep all Iran’s assembled warriors here.
B13.17.6
For victory shall come when battle calls;Grieve not for Gudarz’s kin whom death enthralls.
B13.17.7
For here a fresh rose-garden now is made,Where we shall drink beneath its flowering shade.
B13.17.8
Who knows how long beneath these blooms we stay,Or how long wine will gladden us this way?”
B13.17.9
Then Tus awoke, his grief and pain withdrawn,And turned with joy to Gudarz, Pahlevan.
B13.17.10
“I saw a vision; mark these words of mine:Rostam will come like wind to aid our line.”
