A man for all the seasons

It is the fourth year now since we have lost our evergreen poet, Ahmad Shamlu. He had a great influence on generations of intellectuals and public alike over the years.Considering his poetry heritage, he reached the summit and managed to live on the summit for more than forty years which is a great achievement.It is far better to show appreciation to a national figure efforts when s/he is alive, but given the situation we live under in Iran, the huge amount of especially young people -who didn't really have the opportunity to know him and his works very well- gathered to see him off, showed that he is going to live in our hearts, perhaps for ever.God bless him.
