at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - As I started out from the farm with
a basket of potatoes, for our supper in the shack half a mile up
the hillside, where we had made our Summer camp, my eye fell on a
notice affixed to a gate-post, and, as I read it, my heart sank -
sank as the sun was sinking yonder with wistful glory behind the
purple ridge. I tore the paper from the gate-post and put it in my
pocket with a sigh. "It is true, then," I said to myself. "We have
got to admit it. I must show this to Colin." Then I continued my
way across the empty, close-gleaned corn-field, across the railway
track, and, plunging into the orchard on the other side, where here
and there among the trees the torrents of apples were being already
caught in boxes by the thrifty husbandman, began to breast the hill
intersected with thickly wooded watercourses.
Though few translations have had as much impact as Edward
Fitzgerald's Rubiyt of Omar Khayym, anyone who wishes to truly
appreciate Omar Khayym needs to read more than one translation.
This volume contains Edward Fitzgerald's classic translation with
all its variations, Justin McCarthy's elegant and mystical literal
translation and Richard Le Gallienne's sharp and poetic version.
For the first time the reader can appreciate the range of Omar
Khayym and his interpreters in a single volume.
