"Drink wine.
This is life eternal.
This is all that youth will give you.
It is the season for wine, roses and drunken friends.
Be happy for this moment.
This moment is your life."
— Omar Khayyám from The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám.*
*The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is the title that Edward FitzGerald gave to his translation of a selection of poems, originally written in Persian and many of which are attributed to Omar Khayyám (1048–1131), a Persian poet, mathematician and astronomer.
