Tomorrow is the birthday of my favourite historical character, my mentor, and sometimes my refuge. Omar el Khayyam: mathematician, astronomer, poet.... His famous Quartets are part of his intense legacy... Our great wide world - a piece of dust. All human knowledge - words. The people, animals and flowers of the seven continents - shadows. The result of our meditations - nothing. ***** Why was I born, when will I die? Who can change the day of his birth, who has a say in the day of his death? Come, my beloved, I want to ask the spirit of the wine to make me forget that we shall never understand. *****
