Omar Khayyam (497): “You’re beast and demon, angel, human being”
By Juan Cole | Jan. 12, 2014

You who distill within you the whole world,
attend to this voice from the realm beyond:
You’re beast, and demon, angel, human being;
whatever you show forth, you are that thing.




Translated by Juan Cole
from Omar Khayyam’s Rubaiyat
