Anyone heard of a book titled "Rubicant"?

Question

It may also be Rubican, Rubicon, etc. I believe it was a book of poetry, rather old. How can I find it? Any info helpful.

Answer 1

You may mean the "Rubaiyat" of Omar Khayyam, the Persian poet who lived in the 11th and 12th centuries. "It is old and a book of poetry." It is best known in the translation of Edward FitzGerald, the 19th-century English poet . It celebrates a life of enjoyment, one of its famous lines being: "A loaf of bread, a jug of wine,/ And thou beside me/ And wilderness were paradise enow." And it gives expression to the mourfulness and pathos of life: "The moving finger writes and moves on/ Not all thy tears can wash out a word of it."
If you mean the Rubicon, that was the river Julius Caesar crossed to begin the Civil War in Rome. I am sure there are poems with that title or on that subject, which you can Google. "Crossing the Rubicon" has come to mean taking serious thought before an action which may have momentous consequences.
