Excerpt from Omar and the Rabbi: Fitzgerald's Translation of the Rubaiyat of Omar, Khayyam, and Browning's Rabbi Ben Ezra, Arranged in Dramatic Form
For the benefit of readers who may not be entirely familiar with the two poems here combined, it may be well to state that each poem is used entire and without any alteration or transposition of parts. Whether Browning could have had Fitzgerald's translation in mind when writing Rabbi Ben Ezra is a matter of conjecture with regard to which there seems to be no more evidence than the way the two poems fit together. However that may be, the fitting together which has been here attempted reveals an amount of structure and dramatic power in both poems perhaps hitherto unsuspected. A public performance of the play was given by the Senior Class of Emerson College at Chickering Hall, Boston, Massachusetts, April 11, 1910.

Omar and the Rabbi (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a captivating dialogue between two iconic figures: Omar Khayyám, the Persian astronomer-poet renowned for his Rubáiyát, and Rabbi Ben Ezra, a philosophical figure from Robert Browning's poem. Set against the backdrop of 1100 Persia, the narrative unfolds in a vibrant garden where these intellectual giants engage in a profound exchange about life's fundamental questions. The author skillfully weaves together translated verses from both the Rubáiyát and Rabbi Ben Ezra, creating a tapestry of contrasting perspectives on existence, mortality, and the pursuit of meaning. Omar Khayyám's verses embody a carpe diem philosophy, urging the reader to embrace the present moment and indulge in life's pleasures amidst the transient nature of our existence. In contrast, Rabbi Ben Ezra's wisdom emphasizes a life of growth, learning, and striving towards spiritual fulfillment. Through their rich dialogue, the characters grapple with themes of faith and doubt, pleasure and purpose, and the inevitability of death. This book offers readers a unique opportunity to delve into the depths of human experience through the lens of two distinct philosophical traditions, inviting contemplation on our own journeys of self-discovery and the enduring questions that shape our lives. Ultimately, the book's insights remind us that while the answers to life's mysteries may remain elusive, the pursuit of wisdom and understanding is a timeless and enriching endeavor.
