The Glory of Absence: Selections from Meter 2 of Rumi's Divan-I-Kebir Book

Rumi was "in love" with God, and nowhere is this shown more clearly and beautifully than in the Divan-i Kebir. These special verses from Meter 2 of the Divan illustrate the accessibility of Rumi, who is credited as being the greatest Persian poet of all time. The strength of his poetry lies in the strength of his message, which he presents with remarkable simplicity. The longer one spends with Rumi, the easier it is for his words to slip inside the heart, transporting the reader to a reality outside time and space perception.

These beautiful poems that have been selected from Meter 2 of the Divan-i Kebir will appeal to all lovers of poetry and particularly to those who are fond of Rumi.
