![]() ![]() ![]() If indeed you found it in English, then it's quite possible that in fact Rumi never said anything like this. But I'm pretty sure you didn't read it in Persian, since in the original version of your question you seemed unaware that Rumi's poems were even written in Persian! However, I did find that this quote has been attributed to Rumi on the English-speaking internet, see for example here. ![]() I don't know where, or in what language, you read the quote that you're looking for. ![]() The English "creative versions" rarely sound like Rumi to someone who can read the poems in the original Persian, and they are often shockingly altered- but few know this, and the vast majority of readers cannot but believe that such versions are faithful renderings into English of Rumi's thoughts and teachings when they are not. Yet this popularization has had a price, and the price is a frequent distortion of Rumi's words and teachings which permeate such well-selling books. I found a couple of detailed articles about this online it's very much worth the time to at least skim through these, check out their examples of Rumi poems with literal translations and published English 'translations'. First off, please be aware that Rumi's poetry is very often very poorly translated from the original Persian the original meaning is often totally changed or lost in the English version. ![]()

"An enchanting book-please read." -Dr. ![]() ![]() The question that arises here is whether there exists another Gage-family subject of power and moment equal to the death of Eleni, or of sufficient dramatic weight to propel a second book of much the same breadth and scope. Gage made no secret of the driving forces behind the writing of that earlier book-his own emotional need to confront at last the entire truth about his mother’s death his towering, Olympian outrage at the murderous injustice of it. Now, with similarly painstaking detail and thoroughness, he has produced a sequel to that work, picking up his family’s story in 1949, when Gage and three of his sisters came to America (the fourth, still in forced conscription behind Communist lines, was to arrive later), and continuing it up to the death of their father, Christos Gatzoyiannis, in 1983, the same year that saw publication of “Eleni.” ![]() ![]() ![]() Nicholas Gage published in 1983 the successful and now widely famous “Eleni,” the story of his mother’s execution by firing squad in 1948 at the hands of Communist guerrillas near the end of the Greek civil war. ![]() ![]() ![]() With a foreword by Stevenson, The Sun Does Shine is an extraordinary testament to the power of hope sustained through the darkest times.

He believed the truth would prove his innocence and ultimately set him free. Stunned, confused, and only 29 years old, Hinton knew that it was a case of mistaken identity. In 1985, Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in Alabama.
