This 6x9 b/w text edition contains all 650 or so of my rubaiyat-style quatrains. (Illustrated editions contain an illustration for every quatrain, and have 'art scapes' in the title.) Prologue: Inspired by Omar, I have endeavored to capture his spirit for more modern times, although I have surely been influenced by Edward FitzGerald's translated gems. There is a companion prose version, 'The Triumph of Life, Love, and Being', in which a loving couple take a long, picaresque journey through the countryside to explore the joys and follies of the human condition, living out the quatrains. The Discovery: Long before I'd ever heard of Omar Khayyam, I had come to some of the same conclusions as had he, or so my friend told me one day, saying that I was already living out and proving Omar's philosophy. Amazed that I hadn't heard of Omar, my friend gave me a copy of The Rubaiyat, one of those charming small-sized editions from the late 1800's. Of course, The Rubaiyat struck a chord in me which was already resonating to Omar's frequency, so I read it cover to cover several times, with both wonderment and amazement. The Insight: As the years went by, I found other Rubaiyat editions and began collecting them. At the same time, I began writing down some experiences of my own, most of which I had either lived through or had seen through the eyes of my friends. It eventually occurred to me that I could write my own set of quatrains. Somehow, inexplicably, the verses came to me, as I lived through all the experiences described. The Human Condition: My quatrains, like Omar's, aim into the heart of life's dilemmas, offering simple, common sense solutions. In this hectic, complicated world of ours, we often forget that it is the simple things in life that are still the most enjoyable and inexpensive. Some may read my quatrains but immediately revert back to old habits, for change is not an easy thing. Please try. Likewise, the spirit of Omar's heady Persia-fume has reached me across the centuries, and has overtaken me unaware, inspiring me to live and write, in that order. Illuminations: A few of the quatrains were obtained from my other poetry books, which poems in their full text can be found in 'Epic Thoughts: The Best Of'. Edward and Omar: Edward FitzGerald was among the first to translate Omar's Rubaiyat from the Persian into English, and he rather loosely paraphrased it; however, he caught its spirit and even improved upon it. In translation, one cannot preserve literal meaning, rhyme, rhythm, and meter; therefore, what is left has to be enhanced and rearranged until everything fits. Fortunately, Edward FitzGerald was sufficiently overtaken by Omar's fumes wafting across the centuries, and so he went on through the language barrier to recondense the Persia-fumes and redistill them into a Victorian age masterpiece.

Color Illustrated. The definitive edition. An epic embrace of the human condition, as an extension of Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat into modern times. The Rubaiyat stuck a chord in me which was already resonating to Omar's frequency, so, I wrote my own. Somehow, inexplicably, the verses came to me as I lived through all the experiences described therein, for I dared not write of any philosophies which had not been tried and proven. My quatrains, like Omar's, aim into the heart of life's dilemmas, offering simple common sense solutions. In this hectic, complicated world of ours we often forget that it is the simple things in life that are still the most enjoyable and inexpensive-for, everyone dies, but not everyone lives. The spirit of Omar's Persia-fume has reached me, across the centuries, as he had hoped it might, and has overtaken me unawares, inspiring me to live and write, in that order. (No commentary.) Examples: - The Poetic Form - The verses beat the same, in measured chime. Lines one-two set the stage, one-two-four rhyme. Verse three's the pivot around which thought turns; Line four delivers the sting, just in time. - Whens - Life is a web, of whos, whys, whats, and hows, Stretched in time between eternal boughs. Gossamer threads hold the beads that glisten, Each minute a sequence of instant nows. - Distant Promise - To future columns, we stretch our present row, By a lifeline of tenuously spun vow. Oh, how soon the weighted web begins to fail; The only real time under our feet is now. - Pity the Poor Sultan - Where the river runs, far from Sultan's throne, We live by the stream-side, just us alone. Here we've the perfect equilibrium: Poor but rich, home yet free, great but unknown.
