   Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

   “I desire a little ruby wine and a book of verses,

   Just enough to keep me alive, and half a loaf is needful;

   And then, that I and thou should sit in a desolate place

   Is better than the kingdom of a sultan.”

   
   

   
   

   
   

   Example quatrain  from Edward Heron-Allen ‘s prose translation,1898

   one of my favorite moments from that book…

   [few more here and lot more @ a journey round my skull’s archive;]

   yama-bato:Adelaide Hanscom Leeson 

   In 1905, Adelaide Hanscom Leeson published an illustrated version of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam to rave reviews. This work, part of the Pictorialist movement, was both beautiful and daring.
