    EPIGRAPH: Ibn' Arabi writes of a friend and dervish saint who, after his soul was elevated to the heavens, arrived on Mount Kaf, the magic mountain that encircles the world; gazing around him, he saw that the mountain itself was encircled by a serpent. Now; it is a well-known fact that no such mountain encircles the world, nor is there a serpent.
