One of the most apparent differences between the two poets (essentially both mystics) is felt in how they expressed their beliefs: Rilke is an introspective poet, his writings display the depth of his quest but also a gentle, relatable vulnerability. Rumi is almost the other extreme altogether, as he writes from a place of ecstasy and unearthly exultation, as if in the midst of an out-of-body experience. Sometimes in the attempt to translate his poem's euphoria however, we lose sight of the subtlety and nuance of the original language. in their own ways, both Rilke and Rumi's poems therefore allow great opportunities for musical settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Gity Razaz\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jinous Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44477096198223,"sku":"JP027","price":83.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/9da7cb31d103e7333709c5867eb9f63b.jpg?v=1774881517","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/pt\/products\/razaz-flowing-down-the-widening-rings-of-being-jinous","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
