An immortal voice speaks on the greatest poetic theme in this English-language selection of the works of Rumi. Enriched by the lush calligraphic illustrations of Arabic artist Lassa d Metoui, the poems bear remarkable power and emotional intensity, reflecting on the complexities of love, passion, pain, and faith. These songs of the spirit offer an intimate introduction to the poet's genius, as well as a sublime meditation on the mysteries of love.

Preface by Jean Claude Carriere
Join us in our circle
You are the drop and the ocean
Love asks us to enjoy our life
To the wind shall I scatter you
And patience flees my heart, And reason flees my mind
