The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

"This little book was often read to me as a child by my aunt who reared me and I've always treasured it . It's well used! One of the great bits of verse from it is : Here with a loaf of bread beneath the Bough, a flask of wine, a book of verse - and Thou ( the rest of it is' Beside me singing in the Wilderness- and Wilderness is paradise enow') It's just the first part that is used by all and sundry. "
