Persian Poem Reading: A Nath Yogi with Two White Dogs by A Closer Look: Harvard Art Museums Podcast published on 2013-10-02T15:41:06Z "A Nath Yogi with Two White Dogs" is a folio from a now-dispersed album made for Prince Salim, who became the Mughal emperor Jahangir. Verses of a Persian poem frame the image at top and bottom. The couplets that frame this image—recited in this audio clip by Sunil Sharma, Associate Professor of Persianate and Comparative Literature at Boston University—refer to the poet-lover, who has become an ascetic. This audio was produced for a Layar app accessed by mobile devices in the Harvard Art Museums galleries during the exhibition "In Harmony: The Norma Jean Calderwood Collection of Islamic Art."
