EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "For Some We Loved, The Loveliest and The Best," is a stunning representation of Edmund Dulac's interpretation of a quatrain from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, published in 1909. The mysterious figure depicted in the image seems to be lost in thought, surrounded by twenty figures, each in various stages of repose, as if they have "drunk their cup a round or two before" and have "crept silently to rest." The vibrant colors and intricate details of the illustration transport us to a far-off land, reminiscent of ancient Persia. Omar Khayyam, a Persian poet, philosopher, and mathematician, penned these profound and thought-provoking verses over a thousand years ago. The Rubaiyat, a collection of quatrains, explores themes of love, life, and the passage of time. This particular quatrain serves as a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of life and the importance of cherishing the moments we have with those we hold dear. Edmund Dulac's illustration brings these words to life, capturing the essence of the poem with his masterful use of color and detail. The image invites us to reflect on our own lives and the people we have loved and lost, encouraging us to cherish each moment and live fully in the present.
