Georgian Folk Tales, by Marjory Wardrop [1894], at sacred-texts.com
|
I quite understand, my good friend,' said I, 'the contempt you bestow upon the nursery tales with which the Hajee and I have been entertaining each other; but, believe me, he who desires to be well acquainted with a people will not reject their popular stories or local superstitions. Depend upon it, that man is too far advanced into an artificial state of society who is a stranger to the effects which tales and stories like these have upon the feelings of a nation . . .' Sir John Malcolm's Sketches of Persia, ch. xvi. |
