Omar KhayyamOmar Khayyam Why, all the Saints and Sages who discuss’d Of the Two Worlds so wisely – they are thrust Like foolish Prophets forth; their Words to Scorn Are scattered, and their mouths are stopped with Dust.
Omar KhayyamOmar Khayyam A drink is shorter than a tale.
Omar KhayyamOmar Khayyam The Revelations of Devout and Learn’d Who rose before us, and as Prophets burn’d, Are all but Stories, which, awoke from Sleep They told their comrades, and to Sleep return’d.
Omar KhayyamOmar Khayyam Yes, the first morning of creation wrote what the last dawn of reckoning shall read.
Omar KhayyamOmar Khayyam I have not asked for life. But I try to accept whatever life brings without surprise. And I shall depart again without having questioned anyone about my strange stay here on earth.
Omar KhayyamOmar Khayyam And this I know; whether the one True Light Kindle to Love, or Wrath consume me quite, One flash of it within the Tavern caught Better than in the temple lost outright.
