Omar Khayyam (143) “Religious zealots are all jackasses”
Posted on 06/19/2012 by Juan
Those religious zealotsare all jackasses, who’re
carrying a burden
of deceit. And
most amazing of all,
under cover
of their self-denial
they sell their religion!
They are worse than
unbelievers any day.
Translated by Juan Cole
from Omar Khayyam’s Rubaiyat, [pdf] Whinfield 143
