Persian passion woven with gypsy magic becomes the tie that binds our central characters together.
The poems have been treasured and collected from one century to the next and used to whisper words of love in the gardens of delight that all true lovers find. Yet like our hero, Omar was a man of action and served his Sultan loyally in war as well as in peace. Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it. Played in a box whose candle is the sun, round which we phantom figures come and go. Would not we shatter it to bits, And then re-mold it nearer to the heart's desire.
