THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 50 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: A HAIR PERHAPS DIVIDES THE FALSE AND TRUE
Last Line: AND PERADVENTURE TO THE MASTER TOO;
Subject(s): FREEDOM; TIME; LIBERTY;

A Hair perhaps divides the False and True;
Yes; and a single Alif were the clue--
Could you but find it -- to the Treasure-house
And peradventure to The Master too;
