چهار نگاه به مرگ در ادبيات كهن فارسي
در آن شب تاريخي كه سعدي با دوستش در باغ دلگشا بهسر ميبرند تغييري روحي در سعدي حادث ميشود. او با خود ميانديشد حال كه مرگ نزديك شده بهتر است كه بهجاي گزيدن عزلت و عبادت انفرادي، از نيروي آفرينندگي خود استفاده كرده و چون خداي باغدار، گلستاني بيافريند كه گلهاي آن جاوداني باشد و پس از مرگش باقي ماند. پس روز بعد وقتي كه با دوستش از باغ برميگردند سعدي از او ميخواهد كه دامن پر از گلي را كه با خود آورده به زمين افكند چرا كه او برايش كتاب «گلستان»ي خواهد آفريد كه گلهاي آن پژمردني نباشند: «گل همين پنج روز و شش باشد ـ وين گلستان هميشه خوش باشد» سعدي در همان روز دو پاره از كتاب «گلستان» را مينويسد و تا پيش از پايان فصل بهار تمام آن را به پايان ميرساند. جالب اينجاست كه او كتاب خود را چون باغ بهشت به هشت باب تقسيم ميكند، زيرا او از يك طرف ميان بهشت آرماني و بهشت ادبي خود و از سوي ديگر ميان خالق طبيعت و ناظم كتاب «گلستان» پيوندي ميبيند.

POETRY
What pair of shoes should I choose
For the upcoming dandy dance?
Are my feet better off in blue
Bright shoes or black buckle shoes?
What of these fancy cocktail shoes?
Look, there’s a paper stuck
To my pretty pointy shoes
