Analysis of In the End
Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi 1207 (Balkh) – 1273 (Konya )
In the end, the mountains of imagination were nothing
but a house.
And this grand life of mine was nothing but an excuse.
You've been hearing my story so patiently for a lifetime
Now hear this: it was nothing but a fairy tale.
