“This world
that was our home
for a brief spell
never brought us anything
but pain and grief;
its a shame that
not one of our problems
was ever solved.
We depart
with a thousand regrets
in our hearts.”
― Omar Khayyám
“To wisely live your life, you don't need to know much
Just remember two main rules for the beginning:
You better starve, than eat whatever
And better be alone, than with whoever.”
Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, 1909 - Edmund Dulac :: [h/t Guillaume Gris]

"Good friends beware! the only life we knows Flies from us like an arrow from the bow, the Caravan of life is moving by, Quick! to your places in the passing show.”

It has original art, and also poetry from The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám and The Tempest, and even a quote from Anakin in Attack of the Clones (bonus points for spotting that!)
A jug of wine
A leg of lamb
And thou!
Beside me
Whistling in the darkness
[from the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám {the great Persian astronomer, mathmetician, and poet) as translated by Edward Fitzgerald, with illustrations by Edmund Dulac]
"Affection, love, understanding - these are the foundations of life. We write with love the poem of adolescence. With the music of love, we orchestrate the great song of existence. And you, faced with tenderness, impervious to feeling, learn this truth: Life is Love, and nothing else!"
“When Allah created me, he knew that I
would drink a lot of wine. So if I didn't, the
omniscience of Allah would stand on its head.”
― Omar Khayyám, Rubaiyat De Omar Khayyam...
