Two Quatrains By Omar Khyyam Translated by Harold Lamb


Two Quatrains By Omar Khyyam Translated by Harold Lamb

When Spring’s bright magic on the meadow lies,
With wine beside me I sit, to devise
A love song to my houri, call me a dog
If I can spare a thought to Paradise.

The wheel of Heaven by which we are amazed
A Chinese lantern like to it we know-
The sun the candle, the universe the shade,
And we like its unheeding shadow forms.

Though Ye Suppose by John Skelton

 

Though Ye Suppose
by John Skelton  

Though ye suppose all jeopardies are past,
   And all is done ye looked for before,
Ware yet, I rede you, of Fortune’s double cast,
   For one false point she is wont to keep in store,
   And under the fell oft festered is the sore:
That when ye think all danger for to pass
Ware of the lizard lieth lurking in the grass.

Rupert Brooke "The Soldier" WW1 Poem Animation Movie

Rupert Booke wrote several poems about war, although he never directly experienced combat. After the start of WWI he enlisted. He died of blood poisoning due to an infected mosquito bite on his way to Gallipoli with the Navy.

Following his death, Brooke, who was already famous, became a symbol in England of the tragic loss of talented youth during the war.
