Omar Khayyám (1048–1122) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and a philosopher who was not known as a poet in his lifetime. Later, a body of quatrains became attached to his name, although not all were his works. These verses lay in obscurity until 1859, when Edward FitzGerald (1809–1883), an English country gentleman, published a free adaptation of this Persian poetry. After its discovery by D. G. Rossetti and others, the verse became extremely popular.

Porque foi querendo que você permaneceu ao meu lado, mesmo quando tudo parecia jogar contra. E em tempos de amores líquidos, você decidiu fincar raízes.

seguros como el agua de los ríos,

que pasa y corre, a veces,

por el caudal eterno que eres tú.
