Hafiz (b. 1325, d. 1390) was a prodigious Persian poet who is best known for his magnum opus The Divan of Hafiz (دیوان حافظ), a posthumous compilation of his surviving poems. His stunning tomb, which I hope to visit one day, is located in Shiraz (شیراز), a city in south-central Iran known for its literary history and many gardens; hat tip: mathematician Cliff Pickover (@pickover).
