Persian New Romantics (2009)

Or, what would’ve happened if the Eighties had occurred in Iran?

“Let not sorrow wither the joyful heart

Nor stones of affliction wear away your season of happiness;

Nobody knows the hidden future –

Wine, a lover and enjoying the heart’s desire are all you need.”

Omar Khayyam
