He was born sometime between the years 1310 and 1337. John Payne, who has translated the Diwan Hafez, regards Hafez as one of the three greatest poets of the world. His lyrical poems, known as ghazals, are noted for their beauty and bring to fruition the love, mysticism, and early Sufi themes that had long pervaded Persian poetry. Moreover, his poetry possesses elements of modern surrealism.</span></div> <div><span id="freeTextContainerauthor859027"><br/></span></div> </div> </div></p>http://underthemoonandstarstome.tumblr.com/post/19935389197http://underthemoonandstarstome.tumblr.com/post/19935389197Sun, 25 Mar 2012 22:49:18 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1h11yvhYe1rsxjito1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span class="Apple-style-span">“The moon asked me to meet her in a field tonight.
