"Love's a stranger to earth and heaven too; In him are lunacies
seventy-and-two. [1] [1 Jalalu'd-Din Rumi (1207-1273 A.D.); The
Mathnavi. Jalalu'd-Din, called Mawlana ("our Master"), is the greatest
of all Persian Sufi poets, and founder of the Mawlavi "whirling" dervish
order.] (Baha'u'llah, The Seven Valleys, p. 10)"
-------------------------------------
Love shunneth this
world and that world too, In him are lunacies seventy-and-two. The
minstrel of love harpeth this lay: Servitude enslaveth, kingship doth
betray. [1]1 The Mathnavi.] 55 - (Baha'u'llah, The Four Valleys, p. 54)
