Vandaag 10 jaar geleden https://sailing-dulce.nl/home/article-4545 #zeiljachtdulce #gorinchem #omarkhayyam Donderdag 06-08-2015 Vanmorgen naar een oude vriend, Ad H. uit het Betuwe-dorp Deil. We leerden elkaar kennen toen ik in de zomer van 1979 naast hem kwam wonen aan de Deilsedijk. De beste buurman die je kunt hebben is een wijnhandelaar die ook nog je vriend wordt. Ik vertelde al eerder hier over hem en over het gedicht van de Perzische kwatrijnendichter Omar Khayyám, dat ik bij gegenheid placht voor te dra..

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?

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

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]
Rubáiyát [رباعیات], Bod. # 6 [tr. Talbot (1908)]

You can see the plan. History never lies.
"If you had a sharp eye, you would see everything in motion."— Omar Khayyam
"لو كان لديك بصرٌ حاد، لرأيت كل شيء في حركة."
— عمر الخيام
Si tu avais l’oeil aigu tu verrais tout en mouvement. Omar Khayyâm

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.

Nej, låt de lärde prata, och lägg dig ner där rosor doftar och solen ler.

Ty livet är kort, och endast ett är säkert: att vissna blommor aldrig blommar mer.

Omar Khayyám

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?

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