In this new edition of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, Richard Le Gallienne provides a poetic paraphrase of the ancient Persian verses, drawing from several literal translations rather than original linguistic knowledge. He frames his work as a "little yellow rose" composed of the petals discarded by his predecessor, Edward FitzGerald, aiming to capture a more expansive view of Khayyám’s philosophy. The introductory text highlights the author's focus on mystic materialism, featuring a more optimistic tone and a deeper exploration of romantic passion than previous versions. The accompanying quatrains celebrate the beauty of the present moment, urging readers to embrace wine, love, and nature while acknowledging the inevitable transience of life. Through this lyrical collection, Le Gallienne portrays the poet as a "thinker-drinker" who finds spiritual meaning within the physical world.
