Hi Mark,

I searched Coleman Barks and he seems to be a major Rumi translator.  
I guess I was more watching the moon and thinking about the words 
than listening to his voice.  I listened again, but still did not find it spoiled 
the words.  Maybe your tastes are more discriminating than mine.  

I like the mysticism in his poetry.
