Book excerpt: This Animus Classics edition compiles, for the first time, all of the translations from Hafiz (known also as Hafez) of Edward Byles Cowell (1826-1903). Cowell's translations, numbering 47 poems, are notable both for their accuracy and for their artfulness: a significant feat considering the notorious difficulty of translating the famed Persian poet. Approximately half of the translations are in rhymed verse and half in prose, providing a diverse depiction of Hafiz' talent. Cowell's original footnotes have also been retained.
