The following quotes and poetry written by Jalal ad-Din Rumi played a huge part in the creation of this novel:
The way of love is not a subtle argument...
Whispers of Love
How Very Close
Late by myself...
In your light I learn how to love...
From myself I am copper...
I can't be without you...
I am your moon...
Ghazal 765
In My Inmost Soul
