There is some disagreement, but 'SA' is widely thought to stand for Selim Ahmed, an exotic looking Syrian Arab youngster whom Lawrence picked up at the age of 14. Lawrence nicknamed him Dahoum, which means something like 'little dark boy'. There seems little doubt that it was a sexual partnership. Joncey

What is seven pillers?

The title comes from the Bible - the Book of Proverbs, 9:1: "Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars" (KJV). Just before World War I, Lawrence began work on a book about seven great cities of the Middle East. His chosen title was to be: Seven Pillars of Wisdom. But When war broke out, it was still incomplete and Lawrence said he had destroyed his manuscript. But he was still determined to use the original title for his later work. After two failures, he finally succeeded by starting from scratch, once again, after he lost his original manuscript on a train.

What do the seven pillars mean in Proverbs 9?

Proverbs 9:1-5 : "Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city, Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. "Jewish worship of the fertility goddess Asherah had ceased by the end of the Babylonian Exile, to be replaced by veneration of Lady Wisdom. A house with seven pillars would be a temple, but there is no suggestion of a temple to Wisdom on earth, so this was a heavenly temple.Modern Christianity has difficulty in accepting that the early Jews, and indeed the earliest Christians, had venerated Lady Wisdom, so the preference is to refer to Proverb's 'Wisdom' as philosophical wisdom and to try to explain the seven pillars as no more that seven foundational concepts of wisdom. However, a careful reading shows that the passage does refer to Wisdom as 'she' and does have her invite the faithful into her house, where she will expound more proverbs of great (philosophical) wisdom.


Who was t e Lawrence?

He is most famous for leading the Arab revolt against the Turks during the Great War. He also wrote. One book he wrote (Seven Pillars of Wisdom, his autobiography) is what the movie Lawrence of Arabia is based off of. It's a great read. He died in a motorcycle accident. I suggest reading the Wikipedia page on him.
