\nPrinted in the United States of America  \nI.I  \nSuffolk—and Naishapur  \nMORE than passing strange is the background ofthe Rubaiyat.First,there was Omar himself:Omar Khayyam (full name,GhiyathuddinAbulfath 'Omar Ibn Ibrahim Al-Khayyami),born weknow not when but dead by A.D.II23.Mathematician,astronomer,freethinker,he took the name Khayyam(\"the tentmaker”)from his father's trade,wrote anauthoritative tome on algebra,studied the stars,re-vised the calendar,and occasionally wrote poems--the greatest of which is his Rubaiyat(four-linequatrains).He was also a fiercely independent,non-conformist who hated bigotry and the narrow mindand who accordingly was in conflict with all pretendersand hypocrites in authority over state and church.Often ill-tempered,blunt to the point of insult,he wasthe inventor of a clay scarecrow,and his very presencefrightened the birds of prey and prejudice.  \nHe loved truth and beauty.He was lazy.When hewalked the streets of Baghdad and Naishapur the com-mon Persians said,\"Here comes the Master.\"Others,victims of his barbs,called him a lecherous old drunk  \n## THE RUBAIYAT OF OMAR KHAYYAM\n\nand when he was gone went out of their way to spiton his grave.So live,so perish,most eccentrics;sicsemper the Khayyams.Omar knew that,but he did notcare;he said what he had to say and asked only thathis grave be a spot where the trees would shed theirblossoms over his weary bones,and so it was.  \nHe laid no claim to fame or standing as a poet;henever dreamed that his quatrains would live for long.Now would they,had it not been for Edward Fitz-Gerald,through whom Omar was to.become the best-known Persian poet in the West.FitzGerald(I809-I883)was cast in the same mold as Khayyam;he waseccentric,indolent,brusque,a man with a sharp temperand biting wit,intolerant of all intolerance.He lovedhis parrot,good cheese,Aeschylus and all Greek learn-ing,flowers,music-and books.He was no meancitizen of Woodbridge,Suffolk,'where the neighborsthought him important but odd.Children ran from himin the street,but loved him when they grew up;it waswhispered that sometimes he walked barefoot in thevillage street.Oh,well ...!  \nHe lived there because he inherited a house there,more because he could always \"get a glimpse of thesea”—on which he sailed a little boat(clothed in tophat and a lady's boa)in company with one Posh,apoor,illiterate,hard-drinking fisherman who knewwell the ways of fish,FitzGerald and the briny deep.  \nTHE RUBAIYAT OF OM AR KHAYYAM  \n\"Old Fitz\"was intimate friend to Thackeray,Tenny-son and Carlyle(from whose house he once ran intothe street to dance after a hurdy-gurdy)yet he calledPosh the greatest man he had ever met.He would sitin church(always near an open window)with amangy shawl about his shoulders,and he would humloudly to himself when the sermon became a bore,tothe outrage of the faithful and the delight of littleboys.Once the parson scolded him for coming so sel-dom to church;thereafter he came not at all.  \nFitzGerald never saw Persia,nor Baghdad norNaishapur,nor any of the East,and was never knownas scholar of things Oriental.Yet he took the old quat-rains of Omar and did with them what no other translat-ing scholar has ever done:he made them sing a songso
