	Omar Khayyam
		Omar Kayyam was born Ghiyath al-Din Abul Fateh Omar Ibn Ibrahim al-Khayyam in Nishapur, the capital of Khurasan.
		Omar Khayyam, whose daily thoughts in his rubáiyát were often pessimistic and who was troubled by eternal question of life, death, deity, and the nature of the universe, was viewed with suspicion by orthodox Muslims.
		According to an anecdote, Omar said to one of his pupils, with whom he hold conversations in a garden: "My tomb shall be in a spot where the north wind my scatter roses over it." Omar Khayyam died on December 4, 1131 in Nishapur.

	Index to Poetry - the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
		Depending on the sources of reference that one chooses, Omar Khayyam is believed to have composed somewhere between 200 and 600 Rubaiyat (quatrains).
		It appears that in many of his translations, he has combined a few of the Rubaiyat to compose one, and sometimes it is difficult to trace and correspond the original to the translated version.
		This is the corresponding translation of the Rubaiyat by Edward J. Fitzgerald (1859).

		Omar Khayyam died in the early part of the eleventh century, having sold his poems profitably, with the proceeds of which he established taverns throughout the length and breadth of Persia.
		Although Omar, Jr., was undoubtedly the greatest man that Borneo has yet produced, he must not be confused in the mind of the reader with the Wild Man of Borneo, who, although himself a poet, was a man of far less culture than the author of the present Rubaiyat.

		Omar, once a tent-maker, was given a yearly pension and proceeded to study many subjects, becoming especially proficient in Astronomy.

	[minstrels] The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam -- Omar Khayyam
		Fitzgerald's brilliant translations of Khayyam's rubaiyat rank among my favourite pieces of poetry, both as wonderful examples of verse, and for the way they seem to capture the feel of the original.
		[Khayyam was] clearly not a mystical fatalist claiming "what will be, will be!" To the contrary, he saw the folly of being mesmerized by such techniques, which may bring amazing visions of reality, but so long as they remain visions, they are not and cannot be the truth, the reality itself.
		His Rubaiyat force us to ask those ultimate existential questions, and lead us down a path that, unless we are lost along the way or are destabilized by the abyss which we must traverse, must inevitably reach the same answer.

		Omar wrote poetry, and while his rhymes received little attention in their day, they were rediscovered and translated into beautiful English--more than seven centuries later--by a gentleman and scholar named Edward FitzGerald.
		With their concern for the here and now, as opposed to the hereafter, Omar Khayyam's quatrains are as romantic today as they were hundreds of years ago; they are a tribute to the power of one moment's pleasure over a lifetime of sorrow, of desire over the vicissitudes of time.
		Omar Khayyam (1048-1122) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who was not known as a poet in his lifetime.

		What I missed in Peter Avery's translations, though, was the joy Omar Khayyam must have felt when he created a new quatrain to remind himself to seize the day, to change his state of mind (that's a polite way of describing "to get drunk") or just to invent a polished metaphor or rhyme.
		Omar Khayyam (1048-1131) was a Persian mathematician whom we in the West know primarily as the poet of the Rubaiyat (literally: quatrains).
		Omar Khayyam was an agreeable man little given to conflict, though he did sometimes tease the devout in his world.

		FitzGerald's Rubaiyat was not a literal translation as such and went through five revisions during his lifetime.
		The various Rubaiyat (collections of rubai) - put together by Persian scholars who followed Khayyam contained between 200+ quatrains or "rubai" to as many as 500+ and there are said to be, in total, over 800 possible Khayyam quatrains.
		Curiously enough, although Omar's verses are often essentially contradictory to the religious teachings - of all churches, all religions - I have found people of all faiths who having read him - in whatever language - never forget him, regardless of the strength and convictions of their own particular faith.

	Omar Khayyam - The Rubayyat of Omar Khayyam
		Khayyam (A.D. 1044-1123) is best known to us today for his poetry, collected in the remarkable "Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam." Of all the many English translations of this work, I prefer Edward Fitzgerald’s.
		Khayyam means the tent-maker, and although generally considered as Persian, it has also been suggested that he could have belonged to the Khayyami tribe of Arab origin who might have settled in Persia.
		Khayyam's contributions to other fields of science include a study of generalities of Euclid, development of methods for the accurate determination of specific gravity, etc. In metaphysics, he wrote three books Risala Dar Wujud and the recently discovered Nauruz-namah.

		Their mixture of cynicism and hope, of exaltation by turns of both intellect and senses, has meant that the verses are often quoted aphoristically.

		Published in 1859, Fitzgerald's "Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám" attracted little attention until 1860, when it was discovered by other artists and literary figures, such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti who was a poet, and is well-known as one of the painters of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
		Fitzgerald's "Rubáiyát" describes what he believed to be the thoughts and feelings of Omar Khayyám, with seemingly Eastern tones and colours, but in a way that would be appealing to a Western audience.

		Khayyam's viewpoint regarding Islam in general and its various aspects such as eschatology, Islamic taboos and divine revelation can be clearly realized through unbiased examination of his quatrains that as a rule of thumb should reflect his intrinsic conclusions.
		Khayyam's soul has a pivotal role in a well-versed 1997 novel in Persian, titled "خيام و آن دروغ دلاويز" (English "Khayyam and That Delightful Fabrication") and authored by Hooshang Mo'eenzadeh (هوشنگ معين‌زاده).

		Fitzgerald's Rubaiyat is one of the deepest works of poetry that can hope to be found, especially in the more mystical first edition.
		Fitzgerald's (1851) masterful translation of Khayyam's 11th century poem evokes a romantic Persian landscape of minarets and rose-gardens by babbling streams.
		His emphasis on the pleasures of drinking has curried much opposition from proponents of modern-day Islam, who would like to claim Khayyam as their own, but perhaps he is just using drunkenness as a metaphor for the ecstasy of love and spiritual fulfilment.
