I don't normally sign guestbooks, but yours was definately worth signing, as I had to let you know just how (for lack of a better word) pretty your site is. Its layout and design are sweet and simple. I've come across few sites as pleasurable to explore as yours is.

It’s comforting to know while some disgrace us in eyes of the world with their extremist & terrorist acts & by violating human rights, that there are also people who try to introduce our true Persian culture.

WONDERFUL site! I'm lecturing on Non-Euclidean Geometry here at Northwestern and at the first lecture I said something to the effect: ``Well, over 25 centuries many people tried to prove Euclid's V-th Postulate and it might be interesting for you to know that Omar Khayyam was one of those.'' There was silence in the house of judgement, nobody was impressed AT ALL. Then I plainly asked ``Haven't you read Omar Khayyam?'' Nobody had. I insisted: ``Does anybody know, who he was?'' Nobody did. Now this was sort of a cultural shock for me, since in my home city of Saint-Petersburg any student at any major University should be able to reproduce 5 to 10 rubai by heart, in Russian translation though. So I tried to find a good place where my students could see both the literal and the poetic translations and a Persian friend of mine suggested to have a look at your site. In the next lecture I'll assign reading your site as mandatory homework. If it's still your intention to maintain and expand this site, here is what I would suggest you. As you certainly know much better, than I do, there is much more symmetry in the Persian verse, than it possibly can ever be in the Russian or English verse, due to the verbal nature of the rhyme (like three out of four lines ending in `ast', `nist', etc.). Already your literal translations reflect this feature much better than most poetic translations. But to fully appreciate it those who do not know any Persian (and even those of us who do, but are not native speakers) would need a PHONETIC transcriprion and/or a PRINTED Persian text with vowel signs. It would be simply GREAT if you would be willing to add those. Thank you once more for your marvelous job!

Wading through this great site, i found my self in an enchating journey through the wonderful past times The era of Omar Khayyam, which has a speacial echo in the ears of those who long so much for the silence of the ancient times. The site is wonderfully done, and of course i am not to give an opinion about the poetry of Omar Khayyam as the poet is Much greater than to be talked of. Still i want to say , that i expected much more pictures than those in your site ....just to give the visitors a wide idea about life in the times of the poet by paintings. Wish you all the best.

Hello,

On 11 and 12 november 2000 in the Netherlands I will play the role of Omar Khayyam in the musical 'Kismet'. I was very pleased to find information on your website about this historical figure. I printed it and will read poems at home. I think it will help me to better understand the character I play.

Thank you very much!

Kind regards, Leonard Thierry

I believe that the translations by Fitzgerald actually appear in a book "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" by Yogandanda Paramhansa which was edited by Fitzgerald.

Also, a similar poem which uses the theme of wine and drinking to describe various aspects of life was written much more recently by Dr. Harivansh Rai 'Bachchan'. It is titled "Madhushaala." I'm just curious if 'Bachchan' was

-Vivek. inspired by Khayaam's work.

Thank you for the beautiful art you have shared! I wrote a poem in 1997 that is soooo close to one written by Omar Khayyman that before I realized he was long since dead , I thought he had found it in my head.......

I have two pictures that were bought in 1970. They reflect one of Omar Khayyam poems. One picture is a man begging a woman to stay the night, And the other is the man rejuvinated the next day. They are both in frames with gold and enamel coated with shellac. I am trying to find as much information about this as possible. Please email me!
