The Mystical Wine | Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Explained

In 1859, Edward Fitzgerald published the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, a translation of poetry by the 11th century Persian of the same name. But how did Fitzgerald manage to present and popularize the thoughts of 11th century Persia in 19th century Britain? Was he able to convey all the meanings present within the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam? In this video, I use the example of ‘wine’ in the Rubaiyat to discuss Fitzgerald’s translation, and how it missed the spiritual implications of the Rubaiyat. Note: I only discuss the first (and in my opinion, the best) edition of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam here. Timestamps: 1:43 1.
