I'm going to Khayyam 's tent

In the presence of his quatrains
I sit down and admire his thoughts

About this poem
Omar Khayyam quatrains (rubāʿiyāt رباعیات) became widely known to the English-reading world in a translation by Edward FitzGerald (Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, 1859). I write some quatrains on the same style, as a poetry dialog with him.
