135 MORE VERSES!
OP RUBAIYAT FOUND
Volume at Oxford Alone Is
Older Than One in Cal

Another book of verses to be read
[ underneath the bough with a loaf of

; lemonade—may be the product of the
; discovery in a Calcutta book shop of
; an early volume of Omar Khayyam's
j Rubßlyat containing 135 more quatrains
• i than Fitzgerald translated.
Only the volume in the Bodleian
| Library at Oxford is older than the
! newly found illustrated manuscript
; which, according to news from India,
• bears the date 1505.
‘ Omar, the tentmaker, fast in his
I grave on which the peach petals blow at
; I Nlshapur, continues to be, despite the
: gap of 900 vears, Persia's best ambassa
; dor to English-speaking countries,” say
i a bulletin of the National Geographic
I Society from it headquarters here.
; "Yet hfe who sang:
i j ‘I sometimes think that never blows
so red
The Rose as where some buried
; f Caesar bled';
i! is -little known as a poet in his own
;; country Abu-’l-fat 'h Omar, son of
I i Ibrahim the Tentmaker of Nishapur,
; I for suen was his name, holds in Persia
i i some modest fame as a mathematician,
;i an ancient wise man. who. about
j the time Wiiliam the Conqueror was
: conquering England, assisted in re vis
: ; ing the Persian calendar. But Omar, a
I i poet! We have far better poets than
I he. the Persians say. The Western
, World will never believe it.
Mysticism Dominate*) Persians.
“If Omar Khayyam is a poet without
honor in his own country there are cer
tain geographic reasons for the neglect
as well as for his acceptance by mod
erns Persians were in Omar’s day and
are to this day dominated by Moham
medan mysticism which Omar, who
was as much a doubter and a realist
!as most twentieth century scientists,
! flouted with verses. Perhaps it is no
accident that Omar, himself a scientist
and mathematician, has been found at
: the side of the modern scientist, throw
ing doubts and question marks at cher
ished beliefs as skillfully as laboratory
research workers toss test tubes, equa
tions and graphs at the same targets.
“Religious teachers in Omar’s Persia
held out promises of a practical and
delightful paiadlse which they did not
hesitate to describe minutely. Doubt- 1
lng, Omar wrote; . I
‘Ah, make the most of what we yet
may spend.
Before we. too, into the dust descend.
“The teachers insisted on obedience
to the Koran's order against the use of
i intoxicating liquor. Omar, living in
Persia, the original home of the grape,
and loving w-ine, wrote;
I ‘Ah, my beloved, fill the cup that
j clears
Today of past regret and future
fears.'
“Omar Khayyam’s verses ran against
the tide of opinion in Persia of his day
and still run against the tide. He was a
: heretic; his verses are still heretical.
So Persia continues to think that Omar
as a poet was a good mathematician.
“Much of the geography, the climate,
the flowers, the products and customs
of Persia can be found inlaid in Omar's
verses which have become ao familiar
to English readers. His most famous
quatrain:
‘A book of verses underneath the bough.
A jug of wine, a loaf of bread—and thou
Beside me singing in the wilderness—
Oh, wilderness were paradise enow!’
supplies a thumbnail picture of what
passes for a picnic and the last word in
holiday enjoyment throughout Moslem
North Africa, the Near East and Persia
—excepting the wine which is still for
bidden.
“From Tripoli to Cairo to Bagdad to
Teheran and Tashkent, 3,500 miles, a
bough and the shade it gives are lux
uries in a land of eternal sun. Grass
is even rarer than trees; no such thing
as an American or English lawn exists.
So. when a holiday comes the people
leave the seclusion of their towns, wan
der down to the bank of a stream where
there may be a few trees and there
'star scattered on the grass' as Omar
writes, they rest and gossip.
Women Picnic in Cemeteries.
“Often the greenest spots are the
cemeteries. To visit the graves women
i of the harem are sometimes permitted
to go out once a week, an opportunity
! they seldom pass by. not so much to pay
tribute to the dead as for an outing
under the trees. Graveyards are the
favorite picnic grounds of the Near
East.
“Omar sings of roses, tulips and the
I hyacinths of the garden; the peach
and the pear trees In bloom. The
brushes of artists have added some very
definite Ideas for us about Persian gar
| dens. Yet a traveler to Persia reports
I that although he searched high and
j low, he has yet to find a Persian gar
den On that dry plateau there is no
; such thing as a garden in the American
j or English sense.
“A garden to a Persian is a grove of
i trees kept alive by irrigation ditches
I that receive precious water from some
creek fed by mountain snows. It may
contain a fountain much the worse for
wear, with broken tiles scattered about.
A mud wall usually runs around the
green oasis, but, unless it is a town
house garden, the wall does not exclude
the world. Indeed, in Persia, a garden
outside the gates Is practically a public
j park open alike to the traveler, the mer
' chant and the shepherd halting his
| flock.
“Persia is like a saucer. High moun
i tains rim it. Close to the rim rise the
principal cities hugging the mountains
because of their dependence on the |

j highlands for water. The center Is an
1 upland desert; 'the dead heart of Per- j
I sla.’ Crossing Persia requires crossing
!the desert, so to a parched and sun
beaten traveler any bit of green he I
comes upon toward the end of his Jour- j
ner seems a vision of paradise, a garden !
of unparalleled beauty to be praised ,
and exalted in poetry.”
