Omar Khayyám: All mortal ken is bounded by the veil, To see beyond man’s vision is too frail; Yea! earth’s dark bosom is his only home

All mortal ken is bounded by the veil, To see beyond man’s vision is too frail; Yea! earth’s dark bosom is his only home; Alas! ’twere long to tell the doleful tale.
