[Dar-al-Masnavi] Re: latin bits

Dear Sipko,
Salâm,

Can't translate from Latin, but we have a Latin scholar reviewing the
translations from Persian. My view is that these passages are best
understood in the context of Mawlana's wisdom teaching rather than
excerpted separately. Therefore, instead of attaching longer sections
of the relevant Masnavi passages for these two cases, I'll send them
to you privately.
