Omar Khayyám
Omar Khayyám was a remarkable Persian polymath born in 1048 in Nishapur, in present-day Iran. Renowned primarily as a poet, he was also a skilled mathematician and astronomer, contributing significantly to the science of his time. His most famous work, the "Rubaiyat," is a collection of quatrains that reflect on the nature of life, love, and the passage of time, blending profound philosophical insight with a touch of whimsy. Khayyám's ability to capture the human experience in just a few verses has resonated with readers for centuries, making his poetry as relevant today as it was in the 11th century.
