THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 83 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: SHAPES OF ALL SORTS AND SIZES, GREAT AND SMALL
Last Line: LISTENED, PERHAPS, BUT NEVER TALKED AT ALL.
Subject(s): TIME;
Shapes of all Sorts and Sizes, great and small,
That stood along the floor and by the wall:
And some loquacious Vessels were; and some
Listened, perhaps, but never talked at all.
