The Man with One Foot Outside of Hell

Reed Richards

Stanford, California: Dialogue Foundation, Winter 2009

Poetry

Contains a quote at the beginning:

A man must not despair of God's Merch; for Zardusht says: "I beheld one whose body, with the exception of one foot, was entirely in hell; but that foot was outside. The Lord said: 'This person, who ruled over thirty-three cities, never performed good deeds; but having one day observed a sheep tied up a distance from her food, he with his foot pushed the grass near her.' "
