The Angel at the Tavern Door
Topic: Arts 1:53 pm EST, Jan 20, 2008

Last night I dreamed that angels stood without
The tavern door, and knocked in vain, and wept;
They took the clay of Adam, and, methought,
Moulded a cup therewith while all men slept.

...

Yet since the earliest time that man has sought
To comb the locks of Speech, his goodly bride,
Not one, like Hafiz, from the face of Thought
Has torn the veil of Ignorance aside.

A poem by Hafez, translated by Gertrude "Queen of the Quagmire" Bell, 1897.
