Editorial Reviews

Product Description

"Love is a stranger and speaks a strange language," wrote Rumi, one of the world's most beloved mystical poets. His poems of spiritual love still speak directly to our hearts after more than seven hundred years. These classic selections contemplate separation and longing, intoxication and bliss, union and transcendence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritualy Inspiring, April 28, 2007

By	Seeker of Knowledge (Brooksville, FL) - See all my reviews

This is an amazing work and translation. I have read a couple other translations, though none compare to this. Even though capturing the essence of the original Rumi is nigh impossible, this is the wine that is least diluted.
