"Do thou remember," Baha'u'llah thus addressed him, "the one (Napoleon whose power transcended thy power, and whose station excelled thy station... Think, deeply, O king, concerning him, and concerning them who, like unto thee, have conquered cities and ruled over men." And again: "O banks of the Rhine! We have seen you covered with gore, inasmuch as the swords of retribution were drawn against you; and you shall have another turn. And We hear the lamentations of Berlin, though she be today in conspicuous glory."
(58:2)
