It is interesting Ithought of the Rubaiyat when I saw the book ! I have a few favorites in that book too “ the moving finger writes “, and of course the”flask of wine , book of verse and thou” But I like the verse “Ther was a door to which I found no key , a veil past which I could not see … well you know the rest Cheers

VIVA Anderson

VIVA Anderson

Thanks, Susan: yes! every element tells my story. YOU KNOW !! knew you would !, :))VIVA

VIVA Anderson replied:

(This is my remaster of the book I've treasured for half a century+: The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Peter Pauper Press, Mount Vernon, NY, circa 1960.

VIVA Anderson replied:

The penultimate verse: The TRUTH, now, sigh: "Yon rising Moon that looks for us again....How oft hereafter will she wax and wane; How oft hereafter rising look for us through this same Garden---AND FOR ONE, IN VAIN."
