520    "Layli and Majnun tells of star-crossed lovers whose union
       is tragically thwarted by their families and whose passion
       continues to ripple out across the centuries. The twelfth-
       century Persian poet Nezami blends erotic longing and 
       spiritual self-denial in an allegory of Sufi aspiration, 
       as the amenities of civilization give way to the elemental
       wilderness, desire is sublimated into a mystical 
       renunciation of the physical world, and the soul confronts
       its essence"--|cProvided by publisher.
