Upload #187: fore and aft

Sura 110 is not early. Arguably it's the last sura in the Quran. I'd join that argument in favour, since it uses suras 29 and 40. So I've written "The Last Word" on that. That project is short, since there is a limit to what can be said for a two- (or four-) line composition.

Also I dug around various pericopae in my digital geniza - some of it from 2004, when I was diving into Professor Hoyland's library. From the clutter, I've assembled enough material to offer "The Camel of Sacrifice". It accordingly has that retro air of my Mecca-centred projects 2011; it remains Impressionist. Consider it a House of War out-take.

Madrassa.
