Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (Phoenix Hardback Poetry) - Hardcover
The Moving Finger writes; and having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it. --From the "Rubaiyat" The best-selling poem of all time, Omar Khayaam's Rubaiyat ("Quatrains"), was first published in the West in 1859 by translator Edward FitzGerald. Excerpts from his well-loved version appear here, accompanied by Bird Parliament, a delightful work by Khayyam's contemporary, the influential mystic poet Farrid Ud-Din Attar.

Review:
an attractive new edition with a lengthy essay by Tony Briggs, who characterises the poem, memorably, as "the story of the apocalypse told to us by a kind uncle" (DAILY MAIL)
a lovely new edition... Professor Briggs does us all a favour by putting before our red and weary eyes FitzGerald and this legacy from an older Iran. (Libby Purves TIMES)
