Notes

1. Furūzānfar admits (P. Chahār) that earlier in his life ˓Aṭṭār's poems had never attracted him and he had read them without any liking. The statement confirms the aversion which a modern poet and critic, Ḥamīdī Shīrāzī, feels for ˓Aṭṭār. He wrote a series of articles against the poet (Yaghmā, Vol. 19/1345Google Scholar, several issues) which caused indignation and protest in many circles (cf. also al-Qaysī, ˓Aṭṭār-nāma, Baghdad, 1969, p. 977).Google Scholar
