这个通道的诗,“宾馆”,在一个不太可能的背景:这是出现在一个酷玩乐队的专辑。作为Rozina阿里写了2017年在《纽约客》,“擦除伊斯兰教从鲁米的诗歌开始之前酷玩乐队介入。”But as the poet and his work have been adopted and adapted in the Western world, the fact remains that passages like this one are steeped in Muslim teachings — an important aspect of Rumi's work that's often ignored in modern Western discussions of his poetry. As Ali points out, "The Guest House" is from Rumi's six-book epic, the Masnavi, which is "riddled with Arabic excerpts from Muslim scripture; the book frequently alludes to Koranic anecdotes that offer moral lessons."
