Liebert captures the ecstacy of Rumi. It is extraordinary. You won't feel cheated. He doesn't depart from the thrill. It is just too short. "I drained this cup; / there is nothing, now,/ but ecstatic annihilation/ were I ever other than this/ I regret being born/ if forever it is this, / I'll tramle both worlds!/ and dance/ ecstatic/ forever!/ O, Shams, / I am so drunk!/ what can I say, but I am so drunk on love"

Rumi: Fragments & Ecstacies

As some of the world's most spiritually poignant and pithy literature, the writings of Rumi can be a challenge to translate. Fragments & Ecstacies is Rumi at his best and translation at its best. It is a journey of absolute love and wisdom set in the simplest of peotic form. A real gem! I think Rumi, himself, would be pleased.
