The _Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám_ as translated by Edward FitzGerald has
been my favorite poem ever since late March of 2003.  As a child, my
introduction to the _Rubáiyát_ was this stanza: "Lo! some we loved,
the loveliest and best / That Time and Fate of all their Vintage
prest, / Have drunk their Cup a Round or two before, / And one by one
crept silently to Rest."

his "job" was engineering, mathematics, astronomy and advice to the
court. poetry was actually his hobby.

draney is right that omov is inevitable

The New Mexico one is a little scary...I lived in the state for eight years, but
I'm not a native, my degree was a B.A., it was in mathematics, I went to
*Western* New Mexico University (I'm not even aware of a bare "NMU"; there's a
"UNM" and an "NMSU"), and by 1989 I had been living in another state for ten
years...other than that it's remarkably accurate....

I am not prepared to deny the assertion that I'm not the ventriloquist....r
