by Hakim Omar Khayyám (c1048 - c1122)
Translation by Franz Toussaint (1879 - 1955)
L'amour qui ne ravage pas
Language: French (Français) after the Persian (Farsi)
L'amour qui ne ravage pas n'est pas l'amour. Un tison répand-il la chaleur d'un brasier ? Nuit et jour, durant toute sa vie, le véritable amant se consume de douleur et de joie.
