Maya Angelou Quotes - BrainyQuote
Look at the smile on the Earth's lips this morning, she laid again with me last night! His poetry bestows its benevolence and ability to comfort, enliven and enrich those in need. Art should be a lover; it should radiate and allow you to warm yourself if in any way cold.
Art can quench inner thirst and hunger. And in studying the lives — and working with the poetry — of Rumi, Michelangelo, St Francis, Kabir, Mira and Hafiz, and several of the other great poet-seers, East and West, I came to learn that there was a wonderful common denominator in their work. They helped me form a three-word definition of art, which I then felt was a true gauge for success of any of poems or writings I ever become involved with, including my own. As Emerson saw Hafiz as a genuine measure of himself in all of his interactions, I too try to keep Hafiz before me when dealing with another person — or animal, creature or even plant.
As water is poured through a cloth to collect impurities, I try and pour myself through the poems of Hafiz, and my images of him. Those three words that Hafiz exemplifies, that came to me in studying the lives and works of those greats I just mentioned are an important definition and goal of art, and a standard I hold myself to: engage and give. View image of Illustration from a 19th-Century Divan of Hafiz. Perhaps one of the greatest attributes and values of art is to capture and exploit another person's attention.
For when beauty does that the witness, or audience, always benefits. As Hafiz says:. A song's wink aligned me with joy. And a tune paradise hums I came to know. The forest, letting me walk amongst its naked limbs, had me on my knees again in silence shouting — yes, yes my holy friend, let your splendour devour me. Inherent in engaging someone's interest is to make them present. And with so many suffering the tyranny of some past event or anxieties about the future, what a gift being in the moment can be, especially then if a jewel can be slipped into your pocket by some magi'sbrush stroke, writings, sculpture, instrument, or ballet step.
Hafiz helps us inherit a treasure that is already ours, decreed at birth; and he speaks directly about that in some of his poems — how to file your claim! I have published around Hafiz rendering-poems in six books. And the impetus behind every single line of Hafiz I ever wrote is to help light a candle in your heart, to assist our perennial need to have fun, laugh and dance, "to lift the corners of your mouth.
His love for us is time tested and keeps encouraging and can inspire. He helps us to forgive those we have yet to forgive. And honour those we have yet to honour. And his herculean strength, his enlightenment, will rub off on you so that you too wish and discover yourself more able never to harm another via sound or movement.
Hafiz became incapable of an unkind act, it is said. In hundreds of ways Hafiz addresses what impedes us from living a more fulfilled life. View image of Tomb of Hafiz in Shiraz, Iran. If your knees have not buckled in ecstasy while standing when a veil parts. My words are full of golden secrets that are not too hard to crack, and will remedy one hundred fears and ills. Two stories of Hafiz come to mind that my own teacher told me, and here again, these show the great range of Hafiz, and to me his rather incredible ability to never bore.
To constantly engage and give.

And so creatively lead. Once a young woman came to Hafiz and said, "What is the sign of someone knowing God? And Hafiz became very quiet, and stood in silence for nearly a minute The person who knows God has dropped the cruel knife most so often use upon their tender self — and others.
The second story echoes a sensuousness, that is so much a part of the human dynamic, and that Hafiz fully embraces, and often uses as a springboard to heaven — as the body and its desires can be. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow. I am the darker brother. Tomorrow, I'll be at the table When company comes. Besides, They'll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed—.
I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young. I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.
I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it. I've known rivers: Ancient, dusky rivers. Materials for Teachers Materials for Teachers Home.
