Excerpt from Versions From Hafiz: An Essay in Persian Metre It is characteristic alike of the slow movement of the East and of the intrinsic greatness of the poet that Hafiz should still be the best-loved singer of all lands where the beautiful Persian tongue is the familiar language of the polite or the vulgar - of all lands, that is, where the Mohammedan tradition now reigns. Hafiz is still chanted by the boatmen of the Ganges and commented upon by the learned of Constantinople, copied in ornate manuscripts for the nobles of Delhi and lithographed for the many in Calcutta and Alexandria at once.
