These perfumes
Poet: Fakhruddin Iraqi
These perfumes:
     musk, clove…
all from the hyacinthine shadows
     of those tresses.
You think you hear
     a nightingale’s song…
These perfumes:
     musk, clove…
all from the hyacinthine shadows
     of those tresses.
You think you hear
     a nightingale’s song…
Appreciating beauty is said to be a virtue.
     To see beauty beautifully
          is beautiful.
