Amusing poem You who give culture to a thousand cultures, You who are faceless but have a thousand faces, O Love, You who shape the faces
O Love, You who have been called by a thousand names, You who know how to pour the wine into the chalice of the body, You who give culture to a thousand cultures, You who are faceless but have a thousand faces, ...//// love for you o great
Matchless Sufi Poet Rumi transports us into the realm of mysticism- far from the mundane. Thanks.
Love comes to us and says O you all lo look at me here I've come to reunite you all but now you ignore to be reunited now you choose your own way now you like to live separately now you handle your own caste O you all lo I am stung, I am bleeding Thousands drop of blood make me dry and blue Yet I say you I've come to reunite you all
I have read this before but each time I read it, I find another beautiful line, another probing thought...
I had already signed out for the day when I decided to read this poem by Rumi, a favorite poet of mine. Wow, people, this is a great poem. I would have liked to know who the translator was. I could rhapsodize a while on it, but I’ll confine myself to saying I relate to the longing, affrim his excellent description of the Divine, and especially like the image of the bazaar of existence. -GK
You who are faceless but have a thousand faces, O Love, You who shape the faces of Turks, Europeans, and Zanzibaris, ... universalshm in Rumi.. tony
Maolana Jalauddin Rumi is the poet of all poets. We are not even worthy of being his disciple. What a poem- O Love, you who are faceless but have a thousand faces.- What an easy difficult-expression about the almighty! Speechless!
Heart and mind are angry with each other., is a brilliant observation.
There is such a disconnect in subject matter from the beginning to the end that I can hardly distinguish what the author wants us to think. They beginning is the best in my opinion; it seems to hint of depression and a passive despair of the purpose of life.
So many passionate images flow and swirl about in this poem that is created to be read many many times through and still be rewarding
Love this poem! ! ! ! It is so inspiring, that I could write hundereds of poems based on this poem
Beautiful. This longing for the one who is faceless but creates thousand faces come out so passionately from a poet's pen. Thank you for sharing. Rumi was great.
...You who give culture to a thousand cultures, You who are faceless but have a thousand faces, O Love, You who shape the faces of Turks, Europeans, and Zanzibaris, give me a glass from Your bottle, or a handful of being from Your Branch..................
