A poem by Hafez


Let me make the eye an ocean
and scatter patience over the desert,
And in this operation,
fling my heart into the sea.

The substance of the heart's happiness
is there where the keeper of heart is.
I am making the effort that perhaps,
I may launch myself there.

  2. Let me make the eye an ocean
    fling my heart into the sea.
    The substance of the heart's happiness.
    Estos son los versos que me llegaron más profundamente. ( Lástima que la poesía la tengo que interpretar a través del traductor).
    La imágen es de una placidez absoluta, acaricia los ojos y el corazón.
    besitos

  3. Preciosa foto y poema precioso ... tanto que me lo he llevado para releerlo.
    Si en alguna ocasión te ocurre como a mi, que hace dos dias me quede sin mis blog, puedes pedirme reponerlo para este puesto, merece la pena.Un saludo Tara
