The Sufism of the Rubáiyát

85

Norton F. W. Hazeldine translation

And in the corner of the Potter's shed stood a mighty vase, in shape a BULL, and this was written o'er his head: pillar of endurance cast in clay, thy name on earth is bull; as a sign in the heaven I placed thee there that all on earth might read That when thou bathed in the Sun's bright rays the Spring Time would begin, So let men their trials with endurance meet and begin their Spring Time here, And let the Fruits of Life mature and be ripened full by fall.
