I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
MS and I went to the Phoenix Art Museum today, where they have the entire series of Elihu Vedder's Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám from the Smithsonian Museum.

The drawing are sumptuous, and the text (Fitzgerald's loose translation) are wonderful. I kept think about your own love for mystical poetry and your own spiritual search, as well as your great appreciation for beauty.

There is a whole website on Vedder's work, and the essay is by Jane Dillenberger who was one of my patrons during my doctorate.
