Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

A Rubaiyat is a collection of poems or verses, and The Rubaiyat attributed to Omar Khayyam is as controversial, fascinating and evocative today as it was in his lifetime (c1050-1123). The precise beauty of the imagery, now as then, jolts us into a sense of our transience, evoking humility and wonder in the face of creation.
