@letterappsoc @RoyalMail @RoyalMailStamps Call me a bit of a traditionalist. I'd like to see a #DickDavis design, I've searched for the designer for the Union flag stamps and could see a version of this on a 50p postcard stamp. 🤗🇬🇧✉️📮📯
A ghazal from Hafez for the New Year's Eve. Trans: Dick Davis
May the new year bring with it the wisdom the world needs to fill with poetry, freedom, and peace.

برای چندمین بار سریال #دایی_جان_ناپلئون رو دیدم. شبکه #BBCPERSIAN هم در مورد این سریال و سرگذشت #ایرج_پزشکزاد یک مستند ساخته که خیلی جالبه و در خلال این مستند با #DickDavis مترجم کتاب مصاحبه کرده. روحیه طنز ایرج پزشکزاد کاملا هویداست. پزشک زاد بطور ضمنی بیان می‌کنه که بن مایه 👇

" I haven't strength to hold my reins,
and really there's no knowing
What these poor feet are up to,
or where it is we're going.."

O #Hafez, in night's darkness, alone, in poverty,
While the Qur'an remains to you, & murmured prayer
-do not despair.

@PatrickKurp on the #DickDavis #poem for the #poet #MirzadehEshghi, who was killed by the #Iranian secret police:

This #ghazal does fudge the form & I wonder if #DickDavis smoothed it out for Western taste.
I rely on my son with Persian translations & we have looked at Dick's work before. I'm guessing, e.g., that the conjunctions starting the middle three stanzas are not in the text.

How long will you persist in blasphemy?
Escape your self-hood’s vicious tyranny –
Whoever can evade the Self transcends
this world and as a lover he ascends.

Making a Meal of It
No point in murmuring
Against the life you live,
No point in hungering
For what Fate cannot give:
No point in calling up
Vast, empty words like Fate--
The table's set, sit down
And eat what's on your plate.

Reading a book I ordered, which just came yesterday—The Mirror of My Heart: A Thousand Years of Persian Poetry by Women, trans. Dick Davis (@PenguinClassics)—and hoping against hope that it will inspire some bright young person to create a show based on it.
