Lucretius On Life And Death, In The Meter Of Omar Khayyam is a book written by William H. Mallock and published in 1900. The book is a translation of the work of the ancient Roman poet and philosopher, Lucretius, who wrote a poem called De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things). Mallock has translated this poem into English using the same meter as the famous Persian poet Omar Khayyam. The book also includes parallel passages from the original Latin text of De Rerum Natura. The poem explores the philosophical themes of life and death, the nature of the universe, and the role of the gods in human affairs. The translation is considered to be a significant achievement in English literature, as it captures the essence of Lucretius' work while also conveying the beauty and complexity of the original language. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient philosophy, poetry, or literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
