Lucretius On Life And Death, In The Meter Of Omar Khayyam; To Which Are Appended Parallel Passages From The Original (1900) is a book written by William H. Mallock. The book is a unique interpretation of Lucretius' famous philosophical poem, ""De Rerum Natura"" (On the Nature of Things), which explores the nature of the universe, the existence of gods, and the meaning of life. Mallock has translated the poem into the meter of Omar Khayyam, a Persian poet and mathematician, and has added parallel passages from the original Latin text to provide a deeper understanding of the original work. The book is a fascinating exploration of ancient philosophy and poetry, and offers readers a unique perspective on the timeless themes of life and death.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
