Ronald #Balfour (Ronald Balfour; 1896–1941) - English #Illustrator.
His only main work is illustrations for the " #Rubai" Omara Khayyam.
Ronald created them when he was 24 years old. Graphic #Drawings are a luxurious example of the #modern style.
*
I came to the sage and asked him:
“What is love? He said "nothing"
But, I know, many books have been written:
Some write eternity, while others write that a moment.
It will be scorched with fire, then melt like snow,
What is #love? "This is all a person!"
And then I looked him right in the face,
How do I understand you? "Nothing or all?"
He said smiling: “You yourself gave an answer!:
"Nothing or that's it!" - there is no one here! "
*
When violets pour fragrance
And the wind blows a heavy breathing,
Sage - who drinks with his beloved wine,
Breaking a bowl of repentance on a stone.
*
About grief, grief to the heart, where there is no burning passion.
Where there is no love of torment, where there is no dream about happiness.
Day without love - lost: dull and Serge,
Than this day is barren, and there are no days of bad weather.
*
With the one whose camp is Kiparis, and the mouth is like it,
They succeeded and filled with a glass in the garden,
While rock is inevitable, insatiable wolf,
This flesh, like a shirt, did not tear you off!
*
Love is a fatal trouble, but the trouble is by the will of Allah.
Well, you condemn what is always by the will of Allah.
Evil arose and a good series - by the will of Allah.
Why are the thunder and the flame of the court - by the will of Allah?
*
Give a jug of wine and a bowl, Oh, my beloved,
Let's sit in the meadow with you and on the shore of the stream!
The sky is a lot of beauties, from the beginning of being,
Turned, my friend, into bowls and into jugs - I know.
*
Alas, for a few days we are given here,
Living them without love and without wine is sinful.
Do not think, this world is old or young:
Kohl is destined to leave - isn't it all to us?
*
Dawn on the roof of a sheaf of fire
And he threw the lord of the day into the Cup.
Sip the wine! Sounds in the rays of dawn
The call of love, the universe is a drunk.
*
Of all those who have gone on an endless way
Is anyone returned here?
So in this old caravanserae,
Look, do not forget something.
*
The world is a moment, and I am in it - one moment.
How many sighs are I destined to do in a moment?
Be fun, alive! This is a mortal building
No one has been given to anyone forever.
*
Know only with people worthy of friendship,
Do not know with the scoundrels, do not shake yourself.
If the vile medicine pours you - pour!
If the wise gives you poison - take it!
*
Do not be afraid, friend, today's hardships!
Do not hesitate, time will wipe them.
There is a minute, give it to the fun,
And then what will come, let it come!
*
Life will be carried like one moment,
Appreciate her, scoop up in her.
How to spend it - it will pass,
Do not forget: she is your creation.
*
Do not gribly eyebrows due to rock strikes.
The fallen spirit dies ahead of time.
Neither you nor I have power over fate.
Wise to put up with her. More Prokka!
*
Be fun in these moments that you live in,
Love the moonly beauties, whose camp with cypress is similar.
You are not eternal here, try to become perfect
And rejoice if you find perfect friends in the world.
*
Hayyama reproaches the number of kateles
And as an example, he is set by nonsense.
Other vices were equally noticeable -
Who would look sober from these hypocrisy?!
*
Come soon, executed by the spell,
Sad sorrow, inhale the heart heat!
Pour a jug of wine while in jugs
Our dust has not yet turned the potter.
*
The original is the rest of the rest is love.
In the song of youth, the first word is love.
About the ignorant in the world of love of miserable,
Know that our whole life is the basis - #love!
