@SpokenVerse Might I say sir, you have the perfect voice for poetry, I've only recently become acquainted with the works of Omar Khayyam and I must say, these verses are some of the most beautiful words that have ever been processed in my mind. Thank you, subscribed.
-
Beautiful and truly meaningful.
-
Thank you for sharing this amazing work. It reminds me of "Sunday Morning" by Wallace Stevens.
-
Your voice fits the poetry, says Omar.
-
Well, they're all beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

@silvr90210 If you mean the rhyme scheme, then the form is actually called the Rubaiyat stanza. Robert Lowell hated it. XJ Kennedy liked it.

Many of the other pictures here are very nice but in my view, Dulac is by far the best illustrator of the Rubaiyat.

They're mostly photographs of Dulac from my 2nd edition.
SpokenVerse 2 years ago
Yes, I have that edition, too.
Some of the other things pictured struck me as probably not being Dulac, though I don't know for certain.
EyeLean5280 2 years ago
Yes - the Dulac ones are unmistakeable. The others are more of a daub.
