Additional quotes by Omar Khayyám

That ev'n my buried Ashes such a snare Of Vintage shall fling up into the Air As not a True-believer passing by But shall be overtaken unaware.

To all of us the thought of heaven is dear — -
Why not be sure of it and make it here?
No doubt there is a heaven yonder too,
But 'tis so far away — - and you are near.

Now the New Year reviving old Desires,
The thoughtful Soul to Solitude retires.
