Which famous scholar and cultural figure in the picture?
Correct answer: Omar Khayyam

Ali *Regulus* Mirza
One of his rubâi's, as translated in verse by the maestro, Fitzgerald (even the punctuation and capitalization is exactly as it appears in the 1868 edition 😂):
Here with a little Bread beneath the Bough,
A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse—and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness—
Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!
