Description:
Seventies Press/ Beacon Books, Boston, 1977; First Edition, second printing; 8vo, 71 pages: A selection of forty-four poems by legendary 15th century Indian mystic and poet Kabir, whose spiritual beliefs were based on Sufi as well as Indian teachings, thus allying him to both Muslims and Hindus. Legend has it that at Kabir’s death, both groups laid claim to the body, and during the funeral procession contentiousness developed, which was only assuaged when the dead Kabir miraculously appeared and directed the throng to look under the shroud which covered his corpse. On raising the cloth nothing but a heap of flowers was found. These were divided by the rival faiths, half to the Muslims, who buried them, and half to the Hindus, who burned them, thus keeping the peace. Mellifluously translated into English by Robert Bly. Very Good Plus. Clean, crisp, bright, sharp, no ownership signatures or any other markings of any kind.
