Most Beloved
(8)
I've loved doing this blog tonight. And as I wrap this up I've been researching Omar Khayyahm's poetry. As I did this (peeing, butt warming up again) I stumbled upon this stunning version. Omar was obviously a giant in the realm of philosophy/poetry/substance/style. One of my favorite verses reads,
----------
Ah love! Could you and I with fate conspire
To grasp this sorry scheme of things entire
Would we not shatter it to bits and then
Remold it nearer to the heart's desire?
----------
I know you. Yes you would. Here is my best effort to acquaint you with the most beloved poem in all of Human History. Enjoy forever.
