Quatrain 23 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
O heart, a child of Venus, seeking a companion,
Who has destroyed many like you.
The heart said, "To become a unique one,"
That was why I asked for this task.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Heart as a Child of Venus: This is a poetic personification. Venus, in many cultures, is associated with love and beauty. The heart, being a symbol of love and emotion, is likened to a child of Venus.
Seeking a Companion: The heart is searching for a companion, perhaps a lover or a spiritual guide.
The Heart's Destruction: The heart acknowledges that its desire for companionship has led to the destruction of many others. This could be a metaphorical representation of the heart's longing causing pain or turmoil.
The Desire for Uniqueness: The heart's ultimate goal is to become unique or singular. This could be interpreted as a desire for spiritual enlightenment or a state of oneness with the divine.
