Before his sojourns under the seven
domes, Bahrâm studied astronomy
and geometry in his quest to understand
the paths to celestial ascent and divine
wisdom, and in Friday’s tale he learns that
one can sublimate unbridled sexual passion
in the pursuit of a more profound fidelity
to the divine. On this the seventh day, the
number of creation and the geometry of
perfection, the white dome is capped with
a seven-pointed star, while my other motifs
draw on the secret geometry of seven-point
designs.
