Raise The Cup
One time more than the time allowed us should be spent studying the words of an old character in our world.
His name, Omar Khayyam, is from a time of "Persia" and his letters translated from the never ending scrolls of Arabic/Farsi form, and it can be a sensual adventure when one has only time to spare like coins.
Some are familiar with the helping hands of Hafez, Sa'adi, but this one man is poorly greeted by the Iranian.
These are literal translations from the Farsi into English.
"O friend, for the morrow let us not worry
This moment we have now, let us not hurry
When our time comes, we shall not tarry
With seven thousand-year-olds, our burden
carry. "
