The Sufism of the Rubáiyát

18

Norton F. W. Hazeldine translation

[14]The Courts wherein the king of splendor holds full sway, betwixt the eagle and the bull and where the lion and the man do play; He there glories and drinks deep each day at noon, then falling from his throne is speeded to his doom. This is the sparkling wine of which all on earth may drink, that brings the harvest to the barn, And is that great cause of life which none can turn, nor yet its harmony destroy.
