The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Omar Khayyam · Sufism · 12th century CE

Translated by Edward FitzGerald (1859)

FitzGerald's 1859 free translation of the quatrains of the Persian polymath Omar Khayyam — the most famous English rendering of Persian poetry ever made, weaving wine, mortality, and gentle scepticism into one of the touchstones of Victorian verse.
