Talk:Sohrab Sepehri

Untitled

Excuse me, but we really need to look into the fact that “Address” is mistranslated. Most notably the phrase “Where Is The House of The Friend?” is missing. This is an important phrase because it serves, along with the poem, as an outline for the plot of the film of the same name. (Mchelada (talk) 02:32, 2 April 2008 (UTC))

Mindless Subjective Gibberish

"His poetry is, indeed, like a journey. Every time you read him you understand him differently. There is a bottomless ocean of meanings in his poetry."

Nonesense

This article needs a major rewrite. Where do you come up with things like "New generation of Iranians, Sepehri's most avid readers, are more liberal and less prejudice, [old fashion thinkers] than the last generation. They are very eager to explore the world around them, and that leaves no doubt why Sepehri's characteristics in his poetry appeal to them very much. His poetry has become the language of the new generation, a generation that seeks new ideas, the generation that wants a bloodless revolution in many aspects of the old fashioned Persian life. In the last two decades, religion has been ruling Iran in all aspects of social and political life. Iranian youngsters encounter a paradox between their personal life and their social life. With the introduction of computer and internet, a huge wave of western culture has penetrated to Iran; however, the old fashion side of the society seems to remain unchanged. Still people have to fake their religions and beliefs, and there is no tolerance toward people who want to choose a path outside of the religion’s box."? Encylopedic content must be verifiable, and that clearly isn't

Totally concur with your evaluation of the text: an utter nonsense (aside from the trivial fact that Sepehri is very popular with the youngsters), written or copy-pasted by someone who clearly knows nothing about Sepehri and less about poetry itself; just ignorant platitudes by someone who has mistaken an encyclopaedia entry with a party-political platform. As far as I am concerned, the piece can be removed in its entirety. Truly, I cannot believe that some can take such liberty with facts just for advancing their political views. --BF 17:11, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
