Overview

"In ""Quatrains: Echoes of Existence,"" C.S. Douglas weaves a tapestry of poetic contemplation, unraveling the complexities of human existence. Drawing inspiration from the evocative quatrains of Omar Khayyam-especially as captured by the translations of Edward G. Fitzgerald and Richard De Galienne-Douglas crafts each quatrain with a meticulous hand, melding timeless wisdom with contemporary insight. Yet, while the semblance to Khayyam's ethereal musings is palpable, Douglas's voice is unmistakably unique. He brings to the fore a modern perspective, suffusing each verse with profound reflections on love, life, despair, and the transient nature of existence. The result is a symphony of words that resonates deeply, bridging epochs and cultures and speaking directly to the soul. Each quatrain in this collection stands as a beacon, guiding the reader through the labyrinth of human emotion and thought. Whether seeking solace from the tumult of the modern world or a deeper understanding of the self, Douglas's words offer a haven of introspection. Elegantly illustrated, ""Quatrains: Echoes of Existence"" is more than just a book-it's an odyssey into the heart of what it means to be human. An essential companion for any lover of poetry, it promises to be a volume that is revisited time and again, always revealing new layers of meaning with each perusal."
