Layard and Abdurrahman

Does anyone have the famous English quote that Sheikh Abdurrahman told Austen Henry Layard after finding the lion-statues?

I found no copy of it in the internet after small searches, but I hope that anyone of you can tell me a link or knows it. Although I found a small part of it but have lost it once more.

Thanks for any help...

Yep, this is the part I found, I think, but I was more like searching for the whole quote.

Great work Sharrukin, but I feel that this still isn't the one I am thinking of. Let me give you an example, from my rough translation of Estonian to English it begins with:

"Amazing! Amazing! There is no God except Allah and Mohammed is his Prophet! On the name of the most Holy One, o bey, tell me, what do you want to do with these stones. To waster so much money on these things. Is it possible that your people indeed does get wisdom of them? ...

For years I have lived on this land. My father and his father lived arose their tents here before me; they knew nothing of these statues. Twelve centuries ago the Muslims - praised be Allah, they alone wield the true wisdom - to live on this land and none of them had heard of these underground palaces and none of those who lived here before them.
    And look! There a Frank comes from a land that is a many days way abroad and heads directly to the right place. Takes a stick and draws a line: one here, other there...
...

Have you learned of this by books, magic or your prophets? Tell me, o bey. Reveal the secret of wisdom!"


Although I think that this is a fair enough translation of this text, it is still extremely rough, but I saw it in C. Ceram's 'G�tter, Gr�ber und Gelehrte' transaltion to Estonian.
