"On Mount Moriah, the site of Solomons Zerubbabels
and Herodstemples, stands the Moslem Dome of the Rock,
themost beautifulstructure in Jerusalem. It is decorated on
theoutside by marbles ofwhite, grey, yellow, and in porcelain
of purple,turquoise, blue, brightyellow, and green. It is
octagonal in shape, eachside measuring 67feet, and
crowned by a mighty gold dome, beneathwhich are painted
windows filled with jewellike glass. Near it standsa small
marvel ofloveliness made of the same materials---the little
Dome of the Chain oras a Mohammedan called it, "the
Mother of theMosque."
Within the main building is an immense block of stone to
which, sodevout Moslems believe, pilgrimangels regularly
visited more than athousand years before Adam was made
from a pinch ofdust. Surrounding byguilding and precious
marbles, by tiles and mosaics,by inscriptions andelaborately
painted stucco, by beautiful hanginglamps and enormous
chandeliers, is the rock, like a couchant, greyingmonster
rugged, uncouth, and severe, stretched out in harsh repose
The great shrine, which shelters the stone, is worthy to house
suchfame. The color effect is a luminous mystery ofpearl and
black, goldand dim bluegreen, lit up by the glint ofjewel
like mosaics. Thepillars are made of dark marbles gilded
capitals.The wood screen aroundthe rock is bordered by a
narrow passageway pavedwith marble, on theoutside of
which is a tall screen of wrought iron,heavily gilded and
interspersed with columns. Outside this, on aplatform, is a
giganticcopy of the Koran. "
