Because his poems were often ecstatic love songs from God to his beloved world, many have called Hafiz the "Invisible Tongue." Indeed, Daniel Ladinsky has said that his work with Hafiz is an attempt to do the impossible: to render Light into words - to make the Luminous Resonance of God tangible to our finite senses.§ I am§a hole in a flute§that the Christ's breath moves§through - § listen to this§music! §With this stunning collection of Hafiz's most intimate poems, Ladinsky has succeeded brilliantly in presenting the essence of one of Islam's greatest poetic and religious voices. Each line of The Gift imparts the wonderful qualities of this master Sufi poet and spiritual teacher: encouragement, an audacious love that touches lives, profound knowledge, generosity, and a sweet, playful genius unparalleled in world literature.§

Persian Poets Everyman's Library

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The Middle Ages saw an extraordinary flowering of Persian poetry. Though translations began appearing in Europe in the nineteenth century, these remarkable poems are still being discovered in the West. Like their European contemporaries, the great Persian poets -- Omar, Rumi, Hafiz, and many others -- combined religious and secular themes. These writers owe much to the mystical Sufi tradition within Islam, which understands life as a journey in search of enlightenment. While celebrating the beauty of the world in poems about love, wine, and poetry itself, or telling humorous anecdotes of everyday life, they use this material to symbolize deeper concerns with wisdom, mortality, salvation, and the quest for God.

Masnavi Cosimo Classics

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The Masnavi, written by Mawlana Jalal Al-Din Muhammad Rumi at age 54 in 1258 until his death in 1273, is one of the most famous and best-loved Sufi texts ever written. Comprised of six books and over 25,000 verses, The Masnavi is a collection of poems and stories that teaches Sufis how to reach their Union with God. Rumi described the book as "the roots of the roots of the roots of the Faith." Filled to the brim with stories, anecdotes, lessons, and beautiful poetry, this version of The Masnavi contains the six books abridged, and was translated by E.H. Whinfield in 1898.JALAL AD-DIN MUHAMMAD RUMI (1207-1273) was a Persian Muslim theologian, poet, jurist, and Sufi mystic who taught peace between all religions, promoting tolerance and harmony. Born in the village of Wakhsh in greater Balkh (now Tajikistan), Rumi lived out most of his life in the Anatolian city of Konya. After his father's death, Rumi became the head of a madrassa, or religious school, and continued to learn and preach his father's mystical doctrines. Rumi taught that man had been separated from God, but his greatest desire was to reach God once more through music, dance, poetry and art, all of which is reflected in his many writings. His most famous work is the Matanwiye Manawi, or Spiritual Couplets, regarded by many as the Persian Qu'ran. Rumi's grave is still a place of pilgrimage in present-day Turkey.

Music's Bride Anvil Press Poetry

Powieści i opowiadania

Kociejowski, an antiquarian bookseller living in England, offers us a short and motley collection of poems centering on the theme of music. Like Borges trolling for inspiration among the special collections of libraries, Kociejowski looks for his subjects in obscure texts and forgotten legends. 'Salvatore Guiliano' concerns the adventures of a Sicilian bandit, 'The Charterhouse at Valldemosa' recounts the winter spent by George Sand and Frédéric Chopin on Majorca, and 'Communiqué for William Hoffer' reflects on a Canadian literary lion who was also 'one of the best poets never to have written a verse.' But whereas Borges's bibliolatry was only a springboard into the ether of metaphysics and religion, Kociejowski seems to enjoy the recherché for its own sake. Most of his poems are thus accompanied by long explanatory endnotes, in which the jocose vies with the pedantic. The wildly disparate subjects of these works are nominally gathered under the cloudy trope of 'music.' Chopin figures in two of the long poems, another concerns the songs of a Persian Sufi singer, and 'A Pavane for Sydney Housego' describes an old violinist playing for money in a park. The long poem about Chopin and George Sand in Majorca is essentially a prosy piece of biography culled from letters written by Sand with no organizing themes or extended conceits. Yet in the final section Kociejowski will have the final word on Chopin, pulling this limp rabbit from his inch-deep hat: 'What music is, his life is: / a prelude that supposes what it is prelude to exists already, / if soundlessly so.' The sentence, likethepoetry, requires long puzzling and offers brief rewards.
