Sublime verses from a great world mystic and modern

and culture
We are drunk on love, blatant with hope and adoration
of the beloved..." In such passionate lines complemented by exquisite
Persian miniatures, Words of Paradise weds word and image to convey the
essence of the thirteenth-century scholar-poet Rumi, of whom The New
York Times has said: "Not since the popularity of The Prophet by Kahlil
Gibran in the 1960s has a poet made such a dent in American culture."
More than fifty of Rumi's most intimate and lyrical poems, in a new
translation that reflects the intoxication of the ecstatic state, are
complemented by medieval miniatures from the legendary Khalili
collection of Middle
Here are Rumi's love lyrics to the Shams of
Tabriz--the inspirational, mysterious dervish who came into his life
unbidden, forged with him a deep spiritual union, then abandoned him
and left behind a yearning that Rumi transfigured into the divine
Beloved. Here also are passages from Rumi's great didactic epic, the
Masnavi-ye Ma 'navi, with its countless interweaving tales and mystic
teachings. Prefaced by a discussion of Rumi's life and philosophy,
Words of Paradise is a perfect introduction to Rumi and Sufi
mysticism--and a lavishly produced, richly decorated gift book in the
tradition of Viking Studio's The Message of St. Francis and Vision. Art
lovers and latter-day seekers will want it always at hand.
