The Rubaiyat
Vintage 1947 hardcover edition in very good condition for its age. Some fading to fabric cover, particularly in the area of the spine. Beautifully illustrated by Mahmoud Sayah. Famous translation from the Persian to English by Edward Fitzgerald.
“Set not they heart on any good or gain, Life means but pleasure, or means but pain; when Time let slip a little perfect hour, O take it—for it will not come again.”
The Rubaiyat attained fame when it was translated and introduced to a Western audience by the author and poet Edward Fitzgerald. Selected for their lyrical beauty, the poems are attributed to the Persian mathematician and astronomer Omar Khayyam. Writing in the eleventh century, he was revered as a master of the poetic form, and his works have since been much-quoted by artists and admirers.
