DUDLEY HALL LIBRARY APPENDICES. APPENDIX I. RUBÁLYÁT II, III, AND C. In the first edition of FitzGerald's translation the first stanza, or Rubá'iy, had a note numbered I: referring to the flinging of a Stone into a Cup as a Signal of departure. This note was afterwards expunged. Consequently the note-numbers appearing in the above reprint of the 1859 edition are one digit greater than those of the later editions and here indicated in brackets. FitzGerald says in his note (1): — "The 'False Dawn;' Subhi Kázib, a transient Light on the Horizon about an hour before the Subhi sádik or True Dawn; a well-known Phenomenon in the East." In the note (2) to edition 1 (1859), he calls the "False Dawn" Subhi Khazib, the True Dawn Subhi Sadhuk, and the note ends : The Persians call the Morning Gray, or Dusk, "Wolf-andSheep-While." "Almost at odds with, which is which." Tom Moore quotes Scott Waring as follows: "The Persians have two mornings, the Soobhi Kazim and the Soobhi Sadig, the false and the real day-break. They account for this phenomenon in a most whimsical manner. |
