Austin's Rubaiyat: The Text

by Austin P. Torney

Overview

This edition contains the text of all my quatrains, about 650, as selected from Today’s Rubaiyat and my other books. Inspired by Omar, I have endeavored to capture his spirit for more modern times, although I have surely been influenced by Edward FitzGerald’s translated gems.
