570b

We dance the Middle Way
To the sound of the Ney

570a

We fly in God's beautiful sky!
Not too low... Not too high...

Wings

Add your colours to the Froggies!

569d

Oh! But... We are flying!?!
Poetry! It gives Frogs wings.

569c

This is what drives me crazy about Poetry: it never gives a bridge to the Frogs' world of matter.
True.

569b

But... What did they eat? Where did they sleep?? And... What about... What about the toilets???
No details in the Poem, O Mistress.

569a

400 students followed the Shaykh from Mecca to Rome?!?
That's what Attar writes, O Mistress.

Lovers

Have fun! Colour the Froggies!

568d

Four hundred more frogs in the street?!?
These must be Frögüddan's selfless students!

568c

A...A...
A Frog!

568b

568a

Lovers are those whose self will disappear.

Love Is Above

Have fun!  Colour the Froggies.

567d

Love is above Belief and Unbelief!!!
عشق گو از کفر و ایمان برترست

567c

Be it in Rome or be it in Byzantium (Istanbul), Shaykh Frögüddan is still bowing to an idol!
So he is an Unbeliever ((كافر)!).

567b

Likewise, Qur'an 30 is sometimes translated *The Romans* and sometimes *The Byzantines*.

567a

Are we sure the Shaykh dreams of Rome?!? Is not it Byzantium?
The word in Persian is Rûm (روم).

Not Enough!

Have fun!  Colour the Froggies.

566d

...To kiss the feet of a Roman girl!

566c

...In his dream Shaykh Frögü bows...

566b

...In Rome he is... in rags he walks!

566a

Several nights running, Shaykh Frögüddan dreams a dream...

Duality

Here you can colour the Froggies!

565d

Truth... this hellish stench that rises high!

565c

Truth... this heavenly light that fills the street!

565b

Perhaps... Saints and swine are but a mirror of our own good and bad.
...Perhaps in these Shuyuk we see the Truth of whom we truly are.

565a

Attar says: Within each of us there are a hundred pigs...
در نهاد هر کسی صد خوک هست خوک باید سوخت یا زنار بست

Without, Within...

Here you can colour the Froggies!

564d

Did the swine take over?

564c

... He thinks he is pious... but within him abides a whole herd of swine!
Ah! All right. Now it makes more sense.
