Asleep Behind Dulac Eastern Edmund Height Khayyam Night Omar Peacock Persia Persian Poem Poems Poetry Princess Quatrain Rubaiyat Session Seventy Sleeping Stars Wake 72nd Chased Divan

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to a realm where desires are fulfilled and souls burn with an intense fire. Illustrated by the talented Edmund Dulac, it is taken from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, a collection of Persian poems published in 1909. The image depicts a mesmerizing scene set against the backdrop of a starry night sky. In this ethereal illustration, we witness a princess peacefully asleep on an elegant bed adorned with vibrant colors. As she slumbers, her dreams take her to heavenly heights where her deepest wishes come true. The poet's words echo through the darkness surrounding her - "Heav'n but the vision of fulfill'd desire, And Hell the shadow of a soul on fire" - reminding us that our time in this world is fleeting and soon to expire. The intricate details within this artwork transport us to ancient Persia, as Dulac masterfully captures every nuance and emotion conveyed in Khayyam's poetry. A majestic peacock gracefully perches nearby, symbolizing beauty and wisdom while adding depth to the composition. This enchanting print invites us into a realm where imagination intertwines with reality. It serves as both an homage to Persian culture and literature while also evoking contemplation about life's transience and our own desires for fulfillment. Hilary Jane Morgan has skillfully captured not only the essence of Dulac's work but also its timeless appeal for all who appreciate artistry intertwined with profound poetic expression
