Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, 1909 - Edmund Dulac :: [h/t Guillaume Gris]

* * * *

"Good friends beware! the only life we knows Flies from us like an arrow from the bow, the Caravan of life is moving by, Quick! to your places in the passing show.”

[― Omar Khayyam]

This fic now has an epilogue!

Go on, give it a whirl

It’s shipping, but it’s Dr. Gurathin/Murderbot/Asshole Research Transport: so it’s a ship ship! Also there’s Ship (who indulges in shipping)

It has original art, and also poetry from The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám and The Tempest, and even a quote from Anakin in Attack of the Clones (bonus points for spotting that!)

VII.

Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring

Your Winter garment of Repentance fling:

The Bird of Time has but a little way

To flutter—and the Bird is on the Wing.

“Invoke Often! Inflame thyself with Prayer!” --Aleister Crowley Supplication by mendezmendez

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit

Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,

Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

Up from Earth's Centre through the Seventh Gate

I rose, and on the Throne of Saturn sate,

And many Knots unravel'd by the Road;

But not the Knot of Human Death and Fate.

There was a Door to which I found no Key:

There was a Veil past which I could not see:

Some little Talk awhile of ME and THEE

There seemed---and then no more of THEE and ME.

Then to the rolling Heav'n itself I cried,

Asking, "What Lamp had Destiny to guide

"Her little Children stumbling in the Dark?"

And---"A blind Understanding!" Heav'n replied.

With Earth's first Clay They did the Last Man's knead,

And then of the Last Harvest sow'd the Seed:

Yea, the first Morning of Creation wrote

What the Last Dawn of Reckoning shall read.

--The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, 1913

Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

[lightstairs1902]

Ah Love! could thou and I with Fate conspire

To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire,

Would we not shatter it to bits-and then

Re-mould it nearer to the Heart's Desire!

“Oh threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise! One thing at least is certain - This Life flies; One thing is certain and the rest is Lies - The Flower that once has blown forever dies.” ― Omar Khayyam, Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
