Maurice Nicoll (19 July 1884 - 30 August 1953) was a British psychiatrist, author. After his Army Medical Service in the 1914 War, in Gallipoli and Mesopotamia, he returned to England to become a psychiatrist.(Wikipedia) Excerpt from book: "e;There is nothing to suggest that you are approaching the gateway of the Garden of Eden when you reach the top of the Persian Gulf, unless the sun be that Flaming Sword which turns every way to keep the way of the Tree of Life.
