Introduction
Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
Illustrations
I wear Tobacchanalian Wreaths of Smoke
Acelphalous Time to Febrous Lengths bestirred
I've Hurtled Beauty to a State Forlorn
This Vision comes of Pie - not Piety
Oh, how can you Respect me after This?
The Astral Turrets where the Patient wake
The How is swiftly mingling with the When
Havana's Witch-Fog murks my Horoscope
