All Night's beauty is even explicitly written in the same form that Hafiz used: the writer calls it Whispering Sands khazal. I wouldn't be surprised if she's read Hafiz' work.
("Hafez's principal verse form, one that he brought to a perfection never achieved before or since, was the ghazel, a lyric poem of 6 to 15 couplets linked by unity of subject and symbolism rather than by a logical sequence of ideas. Traditionally the ghazel had dealt with love and wine, motifs that, in their association with ecstasy and freedom from restraint, lent themselves naturally to the expression of Sufi ideas.") [the Brittanica, cited by Minstrels]
Thanks for pointing me at "The Beautiful Automated Living Ghost...". I like it a lot. It reminds me of Margaret Atwood: describing unpleasant things with intellectual distance, but emotional closeness. But then, like you, I am a bookworm; and I find parallels in unexpected places. |
