About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899. Excerpt: ... THE MORE IMPORTANT SEPARATE ISSUES OF EDWARD FITZGERALD'S VERSION OF THE RUBAIYAT OF OMAR KHAYYAM 1 RUBAIYAT OF OMAR KHAYYAM. The Astronomer-Poet Of Pers1a. Translated into English Verse. London: Bernard Quaritch, Castle Street, Leicester Square, i8$g. Original paper wrappers. Pp. xiii + 21. With autographs of D. G. Rossetti and Whitley Stokes. "Nearly the whole of this, the first edition, I sold (not being able to get more) at one penny each. Mr. FitzGerald had made me a present of about 200 copies of the 250 he had printed." So says Bernard Quaritch, in a note to the item in one of his catalogues. A copy recently sold at auction in London brought twenty pounds. "Edward FitzGerald... the man whose shy audacity of diffident and daring genius has given Omar Khayyam a place forever among the greatest of English poets. That the very best of his exquisite poetry, the strongest and serenest wisdom, the sanest and most serious irony, the most piercing and the profoundest radiance of his gentle and sublime philosophy, belong as much or more to Suffolk than to Shiraz, has been, if I mistake not, an open secret for many years--' and, ' as Dogberry says, 'it will go near to be thought so shortly.' Every quatrain, though it is something so much more than graceful or distinguished or elegant, is also, one may say, the sublimation of elegance, the apotheosis of distinction, the transfiguration of grace: perfection of style can go no further and rise no higher, as thought can pierce no deeper and truth can speak no plainer, than in the crowning stanza which of course would have found itself somewhat out of place beside even the gravest and the loftiest poem (Mrs. Barbauld's immortal lines on life, old age, and death) admitted or admissible into such a volume as this. Oh...
