summary: The passage analyzes the first six of Edward FitzGerald's quatrains, tracing
their imagery to Persian ruba'iyat and related sources. It includes scenes of
dawn driving away night, tavern voices calling sleepers to drink before life is
filled up, cock-crow and the tavern door, spring imagery involving Moses' hand
and Jesus' breath, vanished Iram and Jamshyd contrasted with wine, vine, garden,
and water, and a nightingale crying to the rose.

genealogy is established by the passage.
- id: motif:2
label: Wakeful summons to drink before life ends
taxonomy_refs:

wine, and act before the measure of life is filled or before departure without
return.

about time and mortality, not on a doctrinal interpretation of wine.
- id: motif:3

one may return no more; a cited source says none of those who are gone will ever
come back.

Moses' hand appears on boughs and Jesus' breath emerges from ground or earth.
evidence_refs:

confidence: high

does not narrate episodes from Moses' or Jesus' lives.

label: Vanished kingship or paradise contrasted with living wine and garden
taxonomy_refs:
- wisdom
- seasonal_cycle
basis: Iram and Jamshyd's cup are gone or lost, but ruby in the vine and gardens
by water continue; the commentary calls the quatrain composite and links these
recurring images to Persian poetic references.
evidence_refs:
- ev:15
- ev:16
confidence: medium
cautions: The passage explicitly denies finding Iram in Omar-attributed quatrains,
so the Iram element should be treated as FitzGerald's composite echo rather than
a directly attested Omar motif here.

taxonomy_refs: []
basis: The fragment has the nightingale cry 'Wine' and 'Red Wine' to the rose while
David is silent.

cautions: Only the beginning of the sixth quatrain is included in the passage, so
the full scene and function are incomplete.
