In
his
random
reading
he
had
never
chanced
upon
the
Rubaiyat
,
and
it
was
to
him
like
a
great
find
of
treasure
.
Much
I
remembered
,
possibly
two-thirds
of
the
quatrains
,
and
I
managed
to
piece
out
the
remainder
without
difficulty
.
We
talked
for
hours
over
single
stanzas
,
and
I
found
him
reading
into
them
a
wail
of
regret
and
a
rebellion
which
,
for
the
life
of
me
,
I
could
not
discover
myself
.
Possibly
I
recited
with
a
certain
joyous
lilt
which
was
my
own
,
for
--
his
memory
was
good
,
and
at
a
second
rendering
,
very
often
the
first
,
he
made
a
quatrain
his
own
--
he
recited
the
same
lines
and
invested
them
with
an
unrest
and
passionate
revolt
that
was
well-nigh
convincing
.
I
was
interested
as
to
which
quatrain
he
would
like
best
,
and
was
not
surprised
when
he
hit
upon
the
one
born
of
an
instant
's
irritability
,
and
quite
at
variance
with
the
Persian
's
complacent
philosophy
and
genial
code
of
life
:
"
What
,
without
asking
,
hither
hurried
Whence
?
And
,
without
asking
,
Whither
hurried
hence
!
Oh
,
many
a
Cup
of
this
forbidden
Wine
Must
drown
the
memory
of
that
insolence
!
"
"
Great
!
"
Wolf
Larsen
cried
.
"
Great
!
That
's
the
keynote
.
Insolence
!
He
could
not
have
used
a
better
word
.
"
In
vain
I
objected
and
denied
.
He
deluged
me
,
overwhelmed
me
with
argument
.
"
It
's
not
the
nature
of
life
to
be
otherwise
.
Life
,
when
it
knows
that
it
must
cease
living
,
will
always
rebel
.
It
can
not
help
itself
.
The
Preacher
found
life
and
the
works
of
life
all
a
vanity
and
vexation
,
an
evil
thing
;
but
death
,
the
ceasing
to
be
able
to
be
vain
and
vexed
,
he
found
an
eviler
thing
.
Through
chapter
after
chapter
he
is
worried
by
the
one
event
that
cometh
to
all
alike
.
So
Omar
,
so
I
,
so
you
,
even
you
,
for
you
rebelled
against
dying
when
Cooky
sharpened
a
knife
for
you
.
