THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 52 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: A MOMENT GUESSED - THEN BACK BEHIND THE FOLD
Last Line: HE DOTH HIMSELF CONTRIVE, ENACT, BEHOLD.
Subject(s): FREEDOM; TIME; LIBERTY;

A moment guessed -- then back behind the Fold
Immerst of Darkness round the Drama rolled
Which, for the Pastime of Eternity,
He doth Himself contrive, enact, behold.
