Rubaiyyat: On Abulfath Omar Ben Abrahim
This ebook may not meet accessibility standards and may not be fully compatible with assistive technologies.
Book-Three of my "Rubaiyyat a Kawea Karaiti o Aotearoa" series begins in praise of Omar Khayyam, whose proper name designated him the son of a Tentmaker by the name of Abrahim - "Khayyam" being a pen-name meaning "Tent-maker"! 70-Quatrains complete Kawea's general-appraisal of the character and skill of Omar, while further addressing various artist-philosopher nuances to his Rubaiyyat. Then follows 110-Quatrains "On Religion In-General" which serves as a summary apologetic of Kawea's psychology and thought in-relation all. There is a segment of Quatrains included here also revising the work, and it begins with an immediate acknowledgment of a failure of comprehension on Kawea's part, aptly fulfilling the object of "revision" (but employing fresh Quatrains to do so). I thoroughly enjoyed writing these works, and hope you do too. PS: There is a fun-appendix annexed this work showcasing Kawea's Poetic abilities entitled: "MODERN-TIMES' FLESHED-OUT (The Diff’rence ‘Twixt Ghoul and Fool)".
