"You know, my friends, with what a brave carouse I made a Second Marriage in my house; favored old barren reason from my bed, and took the daughter of the vine to spouse"

About this Quote

This quote by Omar Khayyam is a metaphor for his second marital relationship, which is to the pleasures of life. He is stating that he has abandoned the cold, barren reasoning of reason and rather welcomed the joys of life, signified by the daughter of the vine. He is celebrating his brand-new marital relationship with a brave carouse, suggesting that he is accepting life with enthusiasm and joy. This quote is a pointer to us all to require time to enjoy life and to not be so concentrated on the sensible and rational aspects of life. We must take some time to appreciate the beauty and pleasure of life, and to make the most of our time here. Life is too short to be spent in a state of continuous worry and stress. We ought to require time to enjoy the little things and to maximize our time here.
