Book Description
Excerpt from Miscellanies of Edward Fitzgerald Thus far - without fear of trespass - from the Calcutta Review. Though the Sultan showered favours upon him, Omar's epicurean audacity of thought and speech caused him to be regarded askance in his own time and country. He is said to have been especially hated and dreaded by the Sufis, whose practice he ridiculed, and whose faith amounts to little more than his own when stript of the mysticism and formal compliment to Islamism which Omar would not hide under. Their poets, including Hafiz, who are (with the exception of Firdt'isi) the most considerable in Persia, borrowed largely, indeed, of Omar's material, but turning it to a mystical use more convenient to themselves and the people they addressed; a people quite as quick of doubt as of belief; quite as keen of bodily sense as of intellectual; and delighting in a cloudy element com pounded of all, in which they could float luxuriously be tween heaven and earth, and this world and the next, on the wings of a poetical expression, that could be recited indifferently whether at the mosque or the tavern. Omar was too honest of heart as well as of head for this. Having failed (however mistakenly) of finding any Providence but Destiny, and any world but this, he set about making the most of it preferring rather to soothe the soul through the senses into acquiescence with things as they were, than to perplex it with vain mortifications after what they might be. It has been seen that his worldly desires, however, were not exorbitant and he very likely takes a humorous pleasure in exaggerating them above that intellect in whose exercise he must have found great pleasure, though not in a theological direction. However this may be, his worldly pleasures are what they profess to be without any pretence at divine allegory his wine is the veritable juice of the grape his tavern, where it was to be had his Saki, the flesh and blood that poured it out for him all which, and where the roses were in bloom, was all he professed to want of this world or to expect of Paradise.

Book Description
Excerpt from Miscellanies of Edward Fitzgerald Omar Khayyam was born at Naishapur in Khorassan in the latter half of our eleventh, and died within the first quarter of our twelfth century. The slender story of his life is curiously twined about that of two others, very considerable figures in their time and country; one of them, Hasan al Sabbah, whose very name has lengthened down to us us a terrible synonym for murder: and the other (who tells the story of all three), Nizam al Mulk, Vizyr to Alp the Lion and Malik Shah, son and grandson of Toghrul Beg the Tartar, who had wrested Persia from the feeble successor of Mahmud the Great, and founded that Seljukian Dynasty which finally roused Europe into the Crusades. This Nizam al Mulk, in his Wasyat or Testament - which he wrote and left as a memorial for future statesmen - relates the following, as quoted in the Calcutta Review, No. 59, from Mirkhond's History of the Assassins - "One of the greatest of the wise men of Khorassan was the Imam Mowaffak of Naishapur, a man highly honoured and reverenced, - may God rejoice his soul; his illustrious years exceeded eighty-five, and it was the universal belief that every boy who read the Koran or studied the traditions in his presence, would assuredly attain to honour and happiness. For this cause did my father send me from Tus to Naishapur with Abd-u-samad, the doctor of law, that I might employ myself in study and learning under the guidance of that illustrious teacher. Towards me he ever turned an eye of favour and kindness, and as his pupil I felt for him extreme affection and devotion, so that I passed four years in his service.

Book Description
Excerpt from Letters Literary Remains of Edward Fitzgerald, Vol. 6 of 7 Scene I. - A retired Grove near Antioch. Enter Cipriano, Eusebio, and Julian, with books. Cipr. This is the place, this the sequester'd spot Where, in the flower about and leaf above, I find the shade and quiet that I love, And oft resort to rest a wearied wing; And here, good lads, leave me alone, but not Lonely, companion'd with the books you bring: That while the city from all open doors Abroad her gaping population pours, To swell the triumph of the pomp divine That with procession, sacrifice, and song Convoys her tutelary Zeus along For installation in his splendid shrine; I, flying from the hubbub of the throng That overflows her thoroughfares and streets, And here but faintly touches and retreats, In solitary meditation may Discount at ease my summer holiday.
