The Gift: Poems by Hafiz, The Great Sufi Master. trans. Daniel Ladinsky. Penguin, 1999.
I wanted
to reread Hafiz, looking for wisdom. And looking for the source of
the phrase "turning into light." Found it [p.159] in "Is
it true that our destiny / Is to turn into Light / Itself?"
Found more wisdom closer to the end: "I wish I could put the
swaying splendor / Of the fields into words." [p. 305] and
"Plant / So that your own heart / Will grow." [p.330]
