Another treat from Benny’s The Illustrated Omar Khayyam. I love most of Benny’s illustrations, but some grab my attention more than others. I found this one especially striking. Details about Benny’s new translation.
I repent the dream I lost in Time’s womb;
Perchance Life hides from me a dream to plumb:
Not satiated with the dream to come
Nor what on my skull in cipher writ: Tomb.
Thanks Dagny. In case hard up for gift ideas the paperback version will make a fine gift.
