Additional quotes by Omar Khayyám

You know, my Friends, with what a brave Carouse I made a Second Marriage in my house; Divorced old barren Reason from my Bed And took the Daughter of the Vine to Spouse.

Why, if the Soul can fling the Dust aside,
And naked on the Air of Heaven ride,
Is it not a Shame — is it not a Shame for him
So long in this Clay suburb to abide!

My coming brought no profit to the sky,
Nor does my going swell its glory;
My two ears have never heard anyone that could say,
Why I came here and why I will go away.
