El hombre de Somerton: Tamám Shud, un nombre y lo que no encaja
En 1948, la playa australiana de Somerton amaneció con un cadáver imposible: un hombre impecablemente vestido, pero sin etiquetas en la ropa, sin causa de muerte aparente y con un enigmático papel oculto que decía «Tamám Shud» (terminado). Aunque la ciencia moderna y el ADN lograron finalmente ponerle nombre —Carl Webb—, esta...

A quotation from Omar Khayyam

I would not change the song the flute-girl sings
For all the diadems of weary kings,
   His joys the Sultan shares with all the world,
His cares he keeps — a chain of glittering rings.

Omar Khayyám (1048-1123) Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer [عمر خیام]
Rubáiyát [رباعیات] [tr. Le Gallienne (1897), # 201

A quotation from Omar Khayyam

But thou who settest in the way a snare,
With threats of hell for all who stumble there,
   Almighty Spirit, whom the spheres obey,
Is mine the sin, or Thine the greater share?

A quotation from Omar Khayyam

We dabble in the Qur’án now and then,
Read, and repent, yet fall from Grace again;
But in the goblet is engraved a text
That greets eternally the eyes of men.
 
قرآن که بهین کلام خوانند اورا
گه گاه نه بر دوام خوانند اورا
در خطِ پیاله آیتی روشن هست
کاندر همه جا مدام خوانند اورا

Omar Khayyám (1048-1123) Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer [عمر خیام]

A quotation from Omar Khayyam

If I were God, I would not wait the years
To solve the mystery of human tears;
   And, unambiguous, I would speak my will,
Nor hint it darkly to the dreaming seers.

A quotation from Omar Khayyam

Go to! Cast dust on those deaf skies, who spurn
Thy orisons and bootless prayers, and learn
   To quaff the cup, and hover round the fair;
Of all who go, did ever one return?

A quotation from Omar Khayyam

Strange, is it not? that of the myriads who
Before us pass’d the door of Darkness through
   Not one returns to tell us of the Road,
Which to discover we must travel too.

Canadian Mint unveils new coins featuring portrait of King Charles
https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/first-pictures-of-new-canadian-coins-king-charles

When I was a boy, I'd sometimes find coins with the head of #GeorgeVI. Now a third sovereign's head appears on Canadian coins I will use.

"The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it."

“I see a horseman disappearing into
the evening mist. Will he travel through woods
or across wild plains? Where is he heading? I don't know.
Tomorrow, will I be stretched out above or
below the earth? I don't know.”

― Omar #Khayyám, Edward Fitzgerald's The #Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

“What is my true substance?
What will remain of me after my #death?
Our #life is as short as a raging fire:
flames the passer-by soon forgets,
ashes the wind blows away.
A man's life.”

― Omar #Khayyám, Edward Fitzgerald's The #Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

“Myself when young did eagerly frequent
Doctor and Saint, and heard great Argument
About it and about: but evermore
Came out by the same Door as in I went.”

— The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (Fitzgerald, Q27)

My translation, from the Greek, of Ruba'i 1 from "Persian Rubaiyat" by Stavros Melissinos, the "Poet Sandal-Maker of Athens" (1959):

The long Dark Night is done, and Day unbound
Comes forth to scatter rays across the ground
For all believers. Come! Let’s gaze on Him
Whose Vine shall drip Sweet Balm on the Old Wound.
