La Presse - Tunis, Tunisia - mercredi 30 mai 2007 - par Adel Latrech
A tearing cry of love vis-à-vis the vacuity of life: Beït Al Hikma welcomes Rumi.
It started last Monday the conference on Mevlana Jalal Al-Dîn Rûmi at the Academy of Science and Arts Beït Al Hikma, in Carthage, jointly organized with the Embassy of Iran in Tunis.
In the presence of a stimulated public, and placed under the auspices of the Ministry for the Culture and the Safeguard of the Heritage, this very instructive conference was held on the 28th and 29th of May.
It joined an assembly of political and cultural personalities from Iran together with Tunisian and foreign intellectuals.
“When the end of the world approaches, we will be divided between two temptations.
“When the end of the world approaches, we will be divided between two temptations.
The first is despair, the certainty that all disappears with us and that there remains nothing to say what we tried to be.
The second is the desire to keep at all costs something which can testify, here or there, a day or the other, of what we were.
And in these cases, that which we want to save, it is always, in all places, Beauty”.
Jalal Al-Dîn Rûmi.
