But it also seems to me that if we… criticize the Muslim world so much, we should be able to thank the genius that is there… So this is Persian poetry from the 14th century / "The foods produced by the factors of time and space are not so good. Bring some wine because the good things in this world aren't so great./" Robert Bly,
American poet
