The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

XXIX.

Into this Universe, and Why not knowing
Nor Whence, like Water willy-nilly flowing;
    And out of it, as Wind along the Waste,
I know not Whither, willy-nilly blowing.

XXX.

What, without asking, hither hurried Whence?
And, without asking, Whither hurried hence!
    Oh, many a Cup of this forbidden Wine
Must drown the memory of that insolence!
