… the gentle, the youthful and irresistible person of the Báb,
matchless in His meekness, imperturbable in His serenity, magnetic in His
utterance, unrivaled in the dramatic episodes of His swift and tragic ministry…
the august figure of Bahá’u’lláh, preeminent in holiness, awesome in the
majesty of His strength and power, unapproachable in the transcendent
brightness of His glory.
- Shoghi Effendi (‘Preface to 'God Passes By')
