St. Louis Mirror:
I will drop the mask and tell you the secret of my verses. You say they impress you as being uneven and unfinished. I heartily agree with you. As I have stated in my announcement to the public, a poem of the scope and range of My Rubaiyat
is never complete. No doubt, it will undergo many changes within the next ten years. I say ten years deliberately. You see, I possess the arrogance of conviction.

Somebody else may venture forth on similar paths and succeed to please even the fastidious in rhyme. My Rubaiyat
