Description
Omar Khayyam is an outstanding 11th-century Persian mathematician and astronomer, poet and philosopher. His wise quatrains—rubai—full of humor, slyness, and audacity, are philosophical reflections on the meaning of life, on the human vulnerability before an unforgiving fate and the fleeting nature of time, on the eternal enchantment of existence and of the boundless world. They also include poetic thoughts on love and friendship, beauty and pleasure, wine and merriment. Khayyam’s ironic calm of the enlightened sage coexists with the desperate boldness of a rebel; bitter doubts with cheerful freedom-loving spirit and genuine human warmth.
The rubai captivate with their extreme conciseness, simplicity, and imagery. They allow every lover of wise words to find something precious for themselves.
