Islamic & Ottoman Astrology - From "The Conference of the Birds" The Speech of the Birds (Persian: منطق الطیر, Mantiqu 't-Tayr, 1177, other titles in English: "The Conference of the Birds") is an epic of approximately 4500 lines written in Persian by the poet Farid ud-Din Attar. In the poem, the birds of the world gather to decide who is to be their king, as they have none. The hoopoe, the wisest of them all, suggests that they should find the legendary Simorgh, a mythical Persian bird roughly equivalent to the western phoenix. The hoopoe leads the birds, each of whom represent a human fault which prevents man from attaining enlightenment. When the group of thirty birds finally reach the dwelling place of the Simorgh, all they find is a lake in which they see their own reflection. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conference_of_the_Birds | Facebook
