EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" by Gilbert James transports us to a world of love, poetry, and romance. The image depicts a couple standing in a field, their connection palpable as they are immersed in the beauty of nature. The Rubaiyat is a collection of poems originally written in Persian by Omar Khayyam, an esteemed poet, mathematician, and astronomer from 11th-century Persia. Translated into English by Edward FitzGerald, these verses have captured the hearts and minds of readers for centuries. In this particular stanza illustrated by Gilbert James, we read: "Alas, that Spring should vanish with the Rose!". These words evoke a sense of longing and melancholy for fleeting moments and lost opportunities. James' illustration beautifully complements the profound emotions conveyed through Khayyam's poetry. His artistic portrayal captures the essence of love amidst nature's splendor – an eternal theme that resonates across time and cultures. As we gaze upon this early 20th-century masterpiece, we are reminded not only of the power of literature but also its ability to transcend boundaries. This artwork serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by great poets like Omar Khayyam – their words continuing to inspire generations long after they have departed. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an exquisite piece that celebrates both artistry and literary arts while reminding us to cherish life's fleeting moments before they too
