Short Poems On The Matter

This second episode of The “Acqaintance from Iran“ might indicate that the remains of the West- Eastern-Divan are still extant. This does not only apply to music although the strings of the harps are broken, the philanthropist with his candle is gradually vanishing into the underworld and Sulaika lost all of her hair. The exchange of quatrains between the acqaintance from Iran and the author continues on the base of Omar Khayyam´s original inventions and design. The eighty three quatrains of the new episode present another small and self-critical inventory of occidental perplexities and projections.The context also refers to the author´s travels in Iran.
