روضهٔ هشتم / Eighth Garden (Rowze 8)

The Eighth Garden (روضهٔ هشتم) is the concluding chapter of Jami's Baharestan, an anthology of mixed prose and verse modeled on Saadi's Gulistan. This garden is devoted to poets and the craft of poetry, gathering short biographical notices and illustrative anecdotes with their accompanying verses. The numbered prose sections within it — including Section 8, the parable of the compass that turns crooked after learning from the fate of the straight snake — belong to this garden rather than hanging directly under the whole collection.
