Reflections on Fate and Existence

The poem discusses the fleeting nature of life and relationships. It references a door with no key that represents the unknown, as well as a veil that cannot be lifted. It describes people discussing themselves but then no longer being together. It questions who is the creator and who is the created. Finally, it laments that love cannot control fate and reshape the world into a form closer to one's heart's desires.

Some of Khayyam Poems

There was a door to which I found no key,

There was a veil past which I might not see:

Some little talk awhile of me and thee,

There seemed-and then no more of thee and me.

And, strange to tell among that earthen lot,

Some could articulate, while others not:

And suddenly one more impatient cried-

``Who is potter, pray, and who the pot?”

Ah, Love! could thou and I with Fate conspire


To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire!
Would not we shatter it to bits-and then
Re-mould it nearer to the Heart's Desire!
