Dear Jansy,
I do not know whetehr you are aware that Nabokov was dissapointed in
Fitgeralds adaptation after reading Burgess' article 'Omar and Graves',
which is to be found in his *Urgent Copy. *Arberry has made a more faithful
rendering, but not in quatrains, as did John Payne before him of Khayyams
poetry.
Sincerely,
Hafid
