12. Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

#LiveFromHome 12/Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
More poetry from a book picked up by my father when he was stationed in Palestine in 1936 and onwards. It is a translation/paraphrase by the 19th century author Edward Fitzgerald, based on original verses by Persian astronomer/ mathematician Omar Khattam, who loved about 1000 years ago.
