Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam - selected quatrains
Edward Fitzgerald
Into this Universe, and Why not knowing,'
Nor Whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing;
And out of it, as Wind along the Waste,
I know not Whither, willy-nilly blowing.
What, without asking, hither hurried Whence?
And, without asking, Whither hurried Hence!
Oh, many a Cup of this forbidden Wine
Must drown the memory of that insolence!
