[50] The Ball no Question makes of Ayes and Noes
by Omar KhayyamEnglish version by Edward FitzGerald
Original Language Persian/Farsi
The Ball no Question makes of Ayes and Noes,
But Right or Left, as strikes the Player goes;
And he that toss'd Thee down into the Field,
He knows about it all -- He knows -- HE knows!
-- from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, by Omar Khayyam / Translated by Edward FitzGerald |
