So lovely

by Azarin Sadegh on Fri Feb 29, 2008 04:22 PM PST

Dear Nazy,

Thank you so much for posting such a lovely video.

I (like the rest of my generation) grew up with Shamloo and his poetry and I specially loved his love-poems for Aida.

She, like a real muse, remained like a mystery. I started to make an image of her in my mind, wondering what was so special about her to be loved so passionately by a poet such as Shamloo --with so much charisma and with so much intelligence and so much emotion.

This video is the response to my years of wonderings! Now I see Aida’s equally impressive charisma and intelligence and moving presence.

Thank you!

Azarin

I was there

I was one of the fortunate ones to see him in person in  Germany when he read his famous "Roozgar-e gharibist naazanin", the event I'll never forget.

"Kabaab-e ghanaari bar aatash-e soosan-o-yaas, roozgaar-e gharibist naazanin"!

God bless his soul.

Shamlou lives for ever

I love this man. He is an Iranian treasure.

He is one of the bounds for me that defines Iran.

I have been listing to his poems for over many
years.

Even now, I often listen to his poems on my IPOD on the way to work ...

I wish I had met him before he passed away.

God bless him.
