Excerpt from The Lament of Baba Tahir: Being the Rubaiyat of Baba Tahir, Hamadani (Uryan) To write an introduction to the poems, and to en deavour to give information about the life of an author of whom the only thing that can be said with perfect accuracy is that practically nothing is known of him, suggests the brick-making industry as practised by the Jews in Egypt.
