    - 'phrase': 'stone?'
      'meaning': '        I have anglicized Baistoon (to Bistoon) for poetical beauty. Farhad had taken a pledge with the King of Persia to dig a canal from Baistoon Mountain. against which the King pledged to marry his daughter (princess) with him. There was a long controversy amongst Persian historians, poets or phillosophers whether Farhad was killed by his own axe or from a stone rolling from the mountain top. The readers would find a hint of that controversy in the above mentioned quatrain (twin couplet).'
