THE QUATRAINS OF OMAR KHAYYAM.
The Persian Text, with an English Verse Translation.
By E. H. WHINFIELD, late of the Bengal Civil Service.
"Mr. Whinfield has executed a difficult task with considerable success, and his version contains much that will be new to those who only know Mr. Fitzgerald's delightful selection."—Academy.
"The most prominent features in the Quatrains are their profound agnosticism, combined with a fatalism based more on philosophic than religious grounds, their Epicureanism and the spirit of universal tolerance and charity which animates them."—Calcutta Review.
