Book Reviews of Rumi, Dancing the Flame
Book Review: a masterpiece in translation
Summary: 5 Stars
These original translations of 300 quatrains from the Divan-i Shams-i Tabriz are filled with the most wisdom and love there can be in such a short form. The quatrains are filled to the brim with the joy of going home, settling in the palace and drinking wine at the King's feast. In his first translation "Fountain of Fire", Nader Khalili presented 75 odes from the Divan. Although the odes are in a more musical flavour, these short poems are in quality and eloquence of Rumi translations - like Fountain of Fire - unquestionable at the spearhead.
Just by reading these verses you'll hear the call of your soul-falcon, yearning to fly back to the wrist of the Divine Beloved.
Summary of Rumi, Dancing the Flame
POETRY: At last, after six years, another inspirational book of translations of Rumi's poems by Nader Khalili. 300 short poems (Rubaiyat) translated from the original Persian and illustrated with Persian calligraphy created for this book, and photographs of the Rumi Dome of lights designed by the author and built in Hesperia, California.A sample poem: unknown existence, undiscovered beauty, that's how you are, so far, but, one dawn, just like a sun, right from within, you will arise.
