THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 48 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: A MOMENT'S HALT - A MOMENTARY TASTE
Last Line: THE NOTHING IT SET OUT FROM -- OH, MAKE HASTE!
Subject(s): FREEDOM; TIME; LIBERTY;
A Moment's Halt -- a momentary taste
Of Being from the Well amid the Waste--
And Lo! -- the phantom Caravan has reached
The Nothing it set out from -- Oh, make haste!
