#The Bird of Paradise Longs for Its Home

#Abstract
This paper offers a wide-ranging perspective on a widespread phenomenon: the underlying perception expressed in the Portuguese word saudade and its closest English equivalents, «longing» and «nostalgia». It traces this sentiment as it has historically appeared, frequently in Sufi sources, and in 20th-century examples from music and film. Poetry in particular, and the arts in general, have been a natural repository for the congery of emotional insights suggested by this term. The paper is intended to suggest further contemplation that may inspire m ore detailed research into the connection between spontaneous and largely untutored intuition and the numerous spiritual traditions in which these insights have been more fully developed. Ultimately, a contrast emerges between individuals embedded within a living tradition and those who are relatively isolated within a culture that refuses to recognize the true scope of human existence.
