Hare "The Kasîdah of Hâjî Abdû El-Yezdî" by Sir Richard Francis Burton is a poignant collection of poetic thought, written in the late 19th century. This work reflects on existential themes through the perspective of its protagonist, Hâjî Abdû, as he explores the paradoxes of life, the nature of truth, and the human condition. Through his verses, the author presents a deeper philosophical inquiry into self-cultivation, the fallibility of human understanding, and the quest for happiness amidst the realities of suffering. The opening of "The Kasîdah" introduces readers to a vivid landscape where transitions of night to day reflect the profound themes of departure and loss. The imagery of the horses, camels, and the ceremonial atmosphere of a caravan heading towards Mecca sets up a sense of journey and introspection. These verses convey the melancholic acceptance of life’s fleeting moments and the inevitability of parting. As the protagonist contemplates the nature of existence, he questions the essence of happiness and sorrow, invoking deeper metaphysical musings. This rich and intricate tapestry of human experience strikes a resonant chord with readers, inviting them to reflect on their own lives and the universal truths that bind humanity together.
