[46 - later edition] Why, be this Juice the growth of God, who dare Why, be this Juice the growth of God, who dare
by Omar KhayyamEnglish version by Edward FitzGerald
Original Language Persian/Farsi
Why, be this Juice the growth of God, who dare
Blaspheme the twisted tendril as Snare?
A Blessing, we should use it, should we not?
And if a Curse -- why, then, Who set it there?
-- from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, by Omar Khayyam / Translated by Edward FitzGerald |
