"When the saints compose poetry they express the essence of the (holy) Qur'an, because they have effaced their
own ego in the divine and move according to God's Will. ......Professional poets suppose that the poetry of the
saints is no different from their own, but the breeze blowing over a garden brings fragrance whereas the same
breeze blowing over a refuse heap brings ordure.If you have any sense of smell you can tell the difference."   

Sultan Valad (son and a successor of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi) quoted from, Rumi Past and Present, East and West. p.328.
