Description
A sampling of poetry by the celebrated 10th century Syrian poet and mystic Abu’l-Ala.
Excerpt from Wisdom of the East Abu'l Ala, the Syrian
I take this opportunity, as rural correspondents say, of writing to you, and indeed it is but seldom that an opportunity presents itself, for we have never been, and shall not be, in that condition which obliges people to communicate with one another, out of one room to the other room, by written words... It is so often said that this or that book never would have been produced without the sympathetic presence of a certain person. But, for my part, I would shrink from saddling you with such responsibility, and yet without you they would not have been just what they are - I should say "were" in speaking of the others. In your presence I have not been hindered from soliloquy - a very soothing practice - and from more soliloquy. Yes, you have listened with the patience of a cloud of angels, even when the stuff was diabolic.
