Not to change the subject but... is that form a Kayyamic quatrain or rather a Fitzgerald-translationic quatrain? I know most of Homer in English is iambic pentameter but the original Greek, IIRC, was dactylic hexameter. What did Omar write in?

It is Fitgeraldian - almost. Strictly speaking, the rhymes whould be A, A, B, A.
It could more properly have read:-
Her bright blue eyes and tresses gold,
He looks upon, with gaze so bold;
Soft undulations ’neath her dress:
He waits to see her drapes unfold

Yeah but I wonder; is there a ear here that can't hear with the eye the clear superiority of the first? Fixed structures restrict Art.

True Art is to transcend the restrictions of the fixed structures. (discuss!
