First sentence: IT is two hundred years since the birth of Sir William Jones (1746-1794), the father of Persian studies in the west; one century and three-quarters since the publication of A Persian Song, his celebrated translation which introduced Hafiz of Shiraz to the literary world of London and Europe.
