But as I continued read I became more uneasy about the relationship between Shams Tabriz and Rumi. A dervi As is the case with most Sufi tomes, apocryphal tales go hand in hand with aphorisms. I think this is the real reason why Shams Tabriz disappeared from Rumi's life. Even go as far as to send his son after Tabriz.

Whether or not Rumi's feelings were reciprocated is hard to say.

Simonides of Ceos, major Greek lyric poet of the 6th and 5th centuries BC, famed for his evocative elegies on fallen warriors.How do you rate such a read? It is to be felt sitting on the sea shore, with eyes on wide open ocean, seeing nothing but its endless vastness.and contemplate over what is to be contemplated given such meet up of the microcosm and the macrocosm? It is to be savoured really, bit by bit. Jugurtha, king of Numidia, was defeated and executed in Rome in 104 BC. Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis (95� 46 BC), ruler of the North African city of Utica and great grandson of Cato the Censor, was a dogged defender of the republic who, after defeat at the battle of Thapsus, committed suicide rather than legitimate the Empire's dictatorship by accepting a pardon from Julius Caesar.Īllusion to the sack of the African city of Carthage in 146 BC. The momentous work to which Horace refers here is Pollio's history of the political turmoil from 60 to 42 BC, which at the time was very fresh in people's minds and therefore, Horace would have us believe, dangerous to write about. In 39 BC he was honored with triumphal laurels for his victory over the Parthini, an Illyrian tribe allied with Marcus Junius Brutus, adversary to Octavian and assassin of Julius Caesar. In 40 BC he brought the embittered and estranged erstwhile partners of the Second Triumvirate, Antony and Octavian, together in the Treaty of Brundisium. Gaius Asinius Pollio (76 BC - 4 AD) served under Julius Caesar and then under Antony. Horace here refers to the problems of rivalry and civil war between the participants in this alliance and those of the Second Triumvirate, which two decades later brought together Octavian (later to be the emperor named Augustus), Mark Antony and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. It ushered in a period of political deterioration that led to the end of the Roman Republic as a viable political entity. Roman dates were customarily kept according to the names of the two consuls who took office in that year (though, in this case, only one is given.) Metellus Celer was consul in 60 BC, the year the general and politician Pompey along with Marcus Licinius Crassus and a rising politician by the name of Julius Caesar, struck up the informal political alliance normally referred to as the First Triumvirate.
