'Lo! some we loved, the loveliest and the best That Time and Fate of all their Vintage prest, Have drunk their Cup a Round or two before rest, And one by one crept silently to Rest.' Before Fitzgerald's translation in 1859, the West knew the 11th century writer Omar Khayyam primarily as a mathematical genius, an astronomer from Persia, but his verses appealed to a far wider audience, and continue to delight even today.
