Hafiz has no peer.'-Goethe Poetry is the greatest lliterary form of ancient Persia and modern Iran, and the fourteenth-century poet known as Hafiz is its preeminent master. This collection is derived from Hafiz's Divan (collected poems), a classic of Sufism. The short poems, called ghazals, are sonnet-like arrangements of varied numbers of couplets. In the tradition of Persian poetry and Sufi philosophy, each poem corresponds to two interpretations, sensual and mystic. This nineteenth-century translation by historian Gertrude Bell remains widely acclaimed by scholars and readers.
