Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Perfume-Holder: A Persian Love Poem
While green pomegranate leaf and pregnant vine Caught deeper lustre from the ethereal shine. Teeming with fierce and palpitating heat, The sunbeams wove their network o'er the street, And gleamed along the cream-white painted walls Of gardens and the roofs of market stalls, And showered a mist of yellow radiance down O'er hill and valley, desert, wood, and town.
