When Mazarvan the Magician <br />Journeyed westward through Cathay, <br />Nothing heard he but the praises <br />Of Badoura on his way. <br /> <br />But the lessening rumor ended <br />When he came to Khaledan, <br />There the folk were talking only <br />Of Prince Camaralzaman, <br /> <br />So it happens with the poets: <br />Every province hath its own; <br />Camaralzaman is famous <br />Where Badoura is unknown.<br /><br />Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vox-populi-birds-of-passage-flight-the-third/
