I like how the translator touched upon bridges to demonstrate Rumi’s poetry as a bridge to the soul. A bridge filled with echoes of silence and well-being. To let in the Shams. As for the Ruminator poems themselves, there has been something lost in translation is my belief. Irregardless, I enjoyed most of the poems but only a select few touched me. One of my favorite lines is “We must die to become true human beings.”
“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.”
“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
