Description
RUMI, one of the most celebrated mystics of all time, chose poetry to communicate his deep spiritual experiences. His language, that of love in its purest form, speaks to us today as it did seven hundred years ago, surpassing time and bridging cultures.
The poems included in this volume, most of them translated into English for the first time from the original Persian, were carefully selected from two thousand of Rumi's quatrains by expert translators Maryam Mafi and Azima Melita Kolin.
By translating the poems from the original Persian, Mafi and Kolin preserve the expression of emotions that set Rumi apart as one of the finest poets throughout the ages. Arranged thematically, they take us on a journey of the soul that explores Rumi's deep love, in- tense passion and occasional anguish over his beloved.
Discover the depths of a mystic's soul. Fly with him on his beloved's wings. Fall with him into the despair and fear of losing his beloved forever. Explore the beauty and love contained in this wonderful little book of poetry.
