Goethe borrowed some of his poem's contexts and subjects from Hafez's poems: "The beauty of God is reflected in His beautiful creatures, and at last shows itself in Humans beauty. And the Humans spirit that had been separated from his heavenly creator and is in danger of being forgotten, is now searching for the beauty of the God."
