Extract from a poem by Omar Khayyam 1048 to 1131 AD



The moving hand writes and having writ moves on
All they piety or wit shall lure it back
Not any tear wash away a word of it

Life is but a chequerboard of nights and days
Where destiny for men with pieces play
Hither and thither move the mates and slays
And one by one in the closet lay
