Excerpt from Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám: A Paraphrase From Several Literal Translations
The reader may remark that Omar's pessimism in the following paraphrase is mitigated more frequently hy moods of optimism than in fitzgerald. In his attitude to the Deity, the 'he's a good fel low' note is more frequently sounded, a curiously complete and ahandoned faith alternating paradoxically with the most savage criticism and despair. In this my paraphrase accords more nearly with the Omar of the. More literal translators - for Omar is always ready to curse God with one cup and love Him with the next.
