FAMOUS POET

OMAR KHAYYAM, a Persian poet, mathematician, and astronomer, was born at Nishapur, in Khorasan, about A.D. 1050 and died about 1125. Khayyam means “the Tent-maker,†and it is probable that Omar maintained himself by the craft until the sun of fortune rose for him. He was in youth a pupil of the most famous philosopher of Khorasan; he and two of his fellow-students entered into a compact that if either of them rose to fortune he should share it with the others. Nizam-ul-mulk, one of the three, became in time Vizier of the mighty Alp Arslan, and his successor, Malek, son and grandson of Togrul Beg, the Tartar founder of the Seljouk dynasty. He devoted himself to study, especially of astronomy, and when vizier undertook to reform the confused Mohammedan calendar, Omar was one of those to whom the work was confided. The result of their labors is thus described by Gibbon; “The reign of Malek was illustrated by the Gelalaan era; and all errors, whether past or future, were corrected by a computation of time which surpasses the Julian and approaches the accuracy of the Gregorian style.â€

In the 16th century journal keeping was so conventional that journals were called “common place books.â€Today most people use journals only when something important or particularly memorable happens to them, especially when they’re feeling sad or angry. A sounding board, a calm companion, a repository of secrets and experiences, a journal also provides solitude for reflection. Now let’s explore some other reasons to keep a journal:
- Travelogue. “All of my life should be lived like travel,†a writer once wrote, “such avid attention to detail.†Try keeping a journal when you go on a trip. The act of writing spurs us to be more observant, making places come alive in our memories.
- Dream keeper. Dreams are wispy as smoke and as easily forgotten. Keep a journal by your bed to record your reveries. It’s handy at 4 a. m. when you’re still sleep-befuddled after a vivid dream of a flying-trapeze vampire.
- Common log book. In this day of texting and e-mail,, when was the last time you scribbled a note to a friend? Shared among your closest friends, a journalist is a more intimate way to keep in touch.
- Idea book. Document a hobby, research or a special interest like gardening or renovating a house. Stick flowers and swatches with your notes and ideas.
- Notebook-planner. Brainstorms make your to-do- lists, jot down ideas, set goals and business plans. You’ll discover the most practical everyday uses for the blank pages.
- Creative outlet. Many writers and artist find journals essential to their art, and so can you. Paint or draw on the blank pages. Record images that might trigger poetry as a trove of ideas and inspiration, journals actively encourage our creativity.
- Electric inventory. File your favorite quotes or words, songs, puns, conversations overheard, anecdotes, newspaper, clippings, illustrations, anything you find worthy of note.
- Collection holder. Stamps, souvenir, photos, whatever your pleasure, your collection finds a home in the blank pages of your journal.
- Memoir. Years later you’ll be able to reread your journal and remember who you were, how you’ve grown and changed. And your kids will get to know a different side of you.
- Simply as a correspondence to one’s self. A friend of ours keeps a grateful list, another writes scattered musings when she’s bored. Write freely without self-censorship, confide without reservation-journals turn our attention to little things that matter, give us a deeper appreciation of life. Best of all, it’s private. No matter how embarrassing or banal, no one need ever read it but you.
