Description:Excerpt from Sufism: Omar Khayyam and E. Fitzgerald The writings of Omar Khayyam are good specimens of Sufism but are not valued in the West as they ought to be, and the mass of the people know him only through the poems of Edward Fitzgerald which is unfortunate. It is unfortunate because Fitzgerald is not faithful to his master and model, and at times he lays words upon the tongue of the Sufi which are blasphemous. Such outrageous language is that of the eighty-first quatrain for instance. Fitzgerald is doubly guilty because he was more of a Sufi than he was willing to admit. Wine and Wisdom, Love and Beauty come from the Omarian vineyard, whether we pass through merely for pleasure or we dig down into its soil. Its wisdom leads to salvation. Its wine gives strength. Its refrain is "Up, ye lovers, and away! 'Tis time to leave the world for aye. Hark, loud and clear from heaven the drum of parting calls - let none delay!" Omar was a Sufi mystic of the order of Jellalladdin, Attar, Saadi and the other great ones. This book is not a reprint of my earlier one with a title somewhat similar. It may be called a recast. It is much changed and, I trust, improved. In fact it is a new book. Its Interpretations are fuller and closer to the Sufi standard. They have been remodelled and many new thoughts have been added.
