Hafiz in London

"Hafiz in London" by Justin H. McCarthy is a collection of poems from the late 1800's, where themes like love, lost youth, and recollection are explored, mixing the spirit of Hafiz, the famous Persian poet. The work captures life's essence in both Eastern and Western settings, showing that being human goes beyond borders. The poems show Hafiz dealing with aging and difficult love while living in London. He thinks about old loves, past wants, and life's happiness and sadness, comparing Persian culture with his present, gloomy situation. Full of vivid pictures and musical language, the poems honor life's joys, reflecting the passage of time and the somewhat sad feeling of looking back at the past.
