Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam : the astronomer-poet of Persia
Omar Khayyam2010
Books, Manuscripts
In the 'rubáiyát' of the medieval Persian poet Omar Khayyam, Edward FitzGerald saw an unflinching challenge to the illusions and consolations of mankind in every age. His version of Omar is neither a translation nor an independent poem; sceptical of divine providence and insistent on the pleasure of the passing moment.
