Who was Omar Khayyam?
Correct answer: Persian philosopher, mathematician, astronomer and poet
Aurora
I have a book written by him called
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.
Ali *Regulus* Mirza
Aurora, 'Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam' is actually the translation in verse of his rubâis by Edward Fitzgerald, one of its stanzas (from the 1868 edition) being:
And much as Wine has play'd the Infidel,
And robb'd me of my Robe of Honour—Well,
I often wonder what the Vintners buy
One half so precious as the ware they sell.

Ali *Regulus* Mirza,

Nor all thu piety nor wit shall lure it back to erase half a line of it “
