"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.
Home base for many of us -- along with Jung -- only recently did I appreciate who came first along this road! Rumi, as Muslim mystic, also founded the Whirling Dervish branch of Sufism -- for men AND women, we now know -- in Konya, Turkey. (it's worth the trip)

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.
