Omar Khayyam's quatrain 69 from the Rubaiyat reads:

But helpless Pieces of the Game He plays

Upon this Checker-board of Nights and Days;

Hither and thither moves, and checks, and slays,

And one by one back in the Closet lays.

Let's first discuss Khayyam's quatrain. What is he suggesting? You may want to become acquainted with Khayyam--his poetry, his contributions to society, and his famous poetry.

Second, do you agree with Khayyam's view? Why or why not?

Hey!

I've been trying to figure out a way of getting a hold of you, but I've lost all the contact info you had given us lost year (it may have ended up in an end-of-the-year bonfire, being overlooked as just scrap paper, I'm not sure). I've been waiting for months for this publication to open back up--it's a good one too, "Greatest Uncommon Denominator"--that I want to send Existing Parallels to. I was hoping you wouldn't mind taking one last look at it, any last input or advice or thoughts? It's a young, award-winning magazine, and quite prestiguous already. I want to make sure the story is solid and has a chance. If you're too busy I completely understand, I'm not far removed from your classroom.

Incase you don't have it anymore, my e-mail is minnesota9106@charter.net.

Either way, I hope classes have started well for you!
