About this book

Excerpt from The Quatrains of Omar Khayyam: The Persian Text With an English Verse Translation So the Minister sent a messenger to summon him, and told him what had happened. The Khwaja went and looked into the matter for two days, and made a careful choice and he himself went and superintended the mounting of the King at the auspicious moment. Vhen the King was mounted and had gone but a short, distance, the sky became overcast with clouds, a wind arose, and snow and mist supervened. All present fell to laughing, and the King desired to turn back; but Khwaja Imam [omar] said, Have no anxiety, for this very hour the clouds will clear away, and during these five days there will be not a drop of moisture.' So the King rode on, and the clouds opened, and during those five days there was 110 moisture, and no one saw a cloud.
