The Rubaiyat By Omar Khayyam

此次翻巴壺天著《禪骨詩心集》,注意到有《魯拜集》第29、第68兩首的翻譯和譯註 (略),頁175
XXIX
Into this Universe, and Why not knowing
Nor Whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing; 
And out of it, as Wind along the Waste,
I know not Whither, willy-nilly blowing.
墜地如水流,自家主難作;未知何從來,亦未悉何故。去時如風吹,欲住不得住;吹過荒漠間,知復向甚處?
LXVIII
We are no other than a moving row
Of Magic Shadow-shapes that come and go
Round with the Sun-illumined Lantern held
In Midnight by the Master of the Show;
宇宙魔燈耳,其焰為晴曦;吾儕僅一隊,燈上幻影兒,憧憧來與往,但繞燈焰馳;而燈復有主,中夜持戲之。
