“Waste not your Hour, nor in the vain pursuit
Of This and That endeavor and dispute”
– Omar Khayyam, Rubaiyat
A beautiful edition of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. This collection of Persian stories dates to the 11th-century and covers a wide variety of topics including philosophy, mysticism, and Sufi and pre-Islamic. This Edward Fitzgerald English translation is notable for being paired with another famous Persian allegory, the story of ‘Salaman and Absal’. This particular retelling is from the 15th-century Persian writer Jami, who included it in his ‘Haft Awrang’ – a cycle of seven foundational Persian poems.
