The Rubaiyat MICHAEL NADEA AD
The Rubaiyat Time bringeth swift to end The rout men keep; Death's wolf is nigh to rend These silly sheep. Take this moment to thy heart! When the moment shall depart, Long thou It seek it as It flies With a hundred lamp s and eyes ~ The heavenly rider passed: The dust rose in the air; He sped; but the dusthe cast Yet hangeth there. See, how in pride they go With lifted head, Tell Fate with a sudden blow Smiteth them dead. ~ Thou who lovest, life a crow, Winter s chill and winter s snow, Ever exile from the vale s Roses red, and nightingales: Straight forward thy vision be, And gaze not left or right; His dust is here, and he In the Infinite.
