Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Omar Khayyam

This was one of my Mother's favorites, and I grew up with many of the verses quoted to me by my Mother, who knew much of it by heart...

Coming again as an adult, again I see the wisdom and beauty in the lines that that are here. The thoughts are gentle and has a beauty that lends to visualization of the lines...each a complete thought and picture.

Read for meditation, for discussion and also for the sheer beauty of the words that are so easy to understand...and yet so very perceptive and beautiful.
