Excerpt from The Stanzas of Omar Khayyam
From this world thou, too, must vanish, Like the simplest rattlebrain?
All this nonsense from thee throwing, Seek the vault where wine is flowing, Whence it calls in accents cheery, That 'twill teach the mode of quaffing, Gayly mid thy comrades laughing, Driving way thy learning dreary!

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book of poetry explores the philosophical and existential musings of Omar Khayyam, a Persian poet from the 11th and 12th centuries. His writings explore the big questions of life, death, human existence, and the nature of the divine, often through the prism of indulgence in wine, music, and sensual pleasures. This book situates Khayyam within the literary tradition of Persian poetry and Sufi mysticism, highlighting the themes of impermanence, the search for meaning in a transient world, and the celebration of earthly delights as a way to transcend the fear of death and embrace the fullness of life. Through an exploration of Khayyam's ideas and their enduring legacy, the book sheds light on the human condition, offering profound insights into our shared experiences of joy, sorrow, and the quest for meaning in an uncertain world.
