I have loved this work since I first met it and quickly devoured it in 1965, and as I age I see it as being the most profound and, for me, most valid of statements on humanity. I do not really care who is seen as being the actual author - it's Fitzgerald's translation of Omar's work for me and often I talk to Omar, as it were. Would anyone, by the way, like to comment on this quatrain for me: The Ball no question makes of Ayes and Noes, But Here or There as strikes the Player goes; And He that toss'd you down into the Field, He knows about it all - HE knows - HE knows! That's from the fifth edition (70) and is very similar to the First Edition (50) and the Second Edition (75) versions. I've read a couple of biographical type works that have suggested that the above quatrain indicates a belief in a higher being, a concept I think that would be very difficult to support over the work as a whole. Would anyone else agree with me that the work as a whole would support the last two lines of the above quatrain being something like the following, if only in essence: And why you were toss'd down into the Field, Who knows about it all - WHO knows - WHO knows?

You have surely had a strong motive along with a great skill of the language to do the task, both “literal” and “meaning”. I enjoyed very much to read your own verses and saw your zeal behind the words. Thank you and “zendeh baad” to your dear self for the toils you’ve endured, doing this cultural service.

Dear Sir: I love your website on Omar Khayyam because I thought I would never find anything on him who lived in between the 11th century and the 12th century who was a very famous poet.

I think it was a really good site , something I was looking for , though I think if you can just extend your site (even though I know it's hard) and try to represent Khayyam better and Ferdowsi as well. good luck guys

I have a copy of Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam rendered into english verse by Edward Fitzgerald Fourth edittion with notes printed by Ney York Grosset & Dunlap copyright, 1899 by Alex Grosset and company. Together with a tribute in quartrains by Andrew Lang, a brief biography of both poet and translator, and a descriptive article by Edward S. Holden with illistrations by Gilbert James. It's a bluish green hard back book with a black lined ribben/banner with gold lettering. I'm just curious if it was printed in 1899 or if it being a fourth eddition was it made more recently. other than that this was the first I have ever heard of Omar Khayyam and so faar I like his and edward fitzgerald's work.

While doing research for a Christian message, I ran across your site and appreciate it considerably-having briefly read Omar Khayam's works in High School days,I enjoyed his biography by Edward Fitzgerald. I have placed this site as a favorite. Thank you.....

I visited your site a few weeks ago. Since then I've received strange emails from adamsabu@netscape.net and Konan_Hassan@libero.net these two seem to be running some sort of scam. I thought you should be aware of it.

I've come to be more joyful in time spent, Reading the words of makers of the tent. About a million times I've perused these, And things I've learned, I've often lent.

two pages were unfortunately unavailable tonight. I had hoped to introduce someone whose reading consists solely of business, economics and military history to the beauty of poetry and of prose, of fiction and fantasy, and the sheer beauty of the written language.I will try again another evening: I am so unwilling to lend him my own copy.........am I selfish?

Thank you for the informative site. I have recently inherited a copy of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Comprising the Metrical Translations by FitzGerland, Whinfield and the prose version of McCarty. Printed by Thomas Nelson and Sons, New York, there is no publication date. However, its messages remain magical, powerful and inspirational in 2003.

I am Lebanese, and I love the poetry of the orient. Omar Khayyam is one of those poets, besides Mahmud Darwish, and others. This is a wonderfully informative site. Thank you.

I was blind until I closed my eyes and in those moments of darkness I saw nothing but endless possibilities and that opened my eyes.
