It is marvellous how the words and thoughts and feelings of a poet who died more than 700 years before my birth can touch my heart in such a way.
I can only imagine how vastly superior the original words in Persian might be but I just loved these poems.

An Excerpt:
"Perhaps the time will come
when you will tire of kisses.
I shall be happy
Even from insults from you.
I only ask that you
keep some attention
on me"

I've read some other translations of Rumi's work, and although these were similar...they didn't feel like previous works I've read.

It just didn't evoke any emotions while reading this, and that's the key to enjoying poetry...
