Ralph Waldo Emerson said of Hafiz: “He fears nothing. He sees too far, he sees throughout; such is the only man I wish to see or be.“ And Emerson gave Hafiz that grand and famous compliment, “Hafiz is a poet for poets.“ Hafez is best known for his poems that can be described as “antinomian“ and with the medieval use of the term “theosophical“; the term “theosophy“ in the 13th and 14th centuries was used to indicate mystical work by “authors only inspired by the holy books“ (as distinguished from theology). Hafez primarily wrote in the literary genre of lyric poetry or ghazals, that is the ideal style for expressing the ecstasy of divine inspiration in the mystical form of love poems.
