Yes, I meant Iran of the modern day. It was known as Persia in ancient times. Actually, there was a time when Persian was quite prevalent in Indian subcontinent as well...but Persian is a language and so it can be spoken anywhere even though it originated from the present Iran while Persia (Iran) is a country.
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

Sorry Niam. I must have overlooked your question earlier; yes, I think it might be a good idea to keep it as a whole.![]()
