Summary: "The Rubaiyat of Ohow Dryyam" by J. L. Duff is a collection of poetic verses written in the early 20th century. This book serves as a playful homage to the classic "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam," reimagining its themes through a modern lens that critiques societal changes, particularly regarding prohibition and the loss of freedoms associated with drinking. The work exhibits a blend of humor and poignancy, reflecting the author's insights into the impact of stricter moral laws on personal liberties and social gatherings. In this collection, Duff engages with the nostalgia of lost pleasures, lamenting the absence of alcoholic beverages in a world constrained by new legalities. Through a series of quatrains, he encapsulates the longing for the conviviality and joy once found in taverns and bars, contrasting it with the sober realities of a society that has turned to tea and coffee. The poem resonates with a longing for freedom and a more vibrant, carefree past, marked by expressions of camaraderie and indulgence. Ultimately, it invites readers to reflect on the bittersweet nature of change and the enduring human spirit in seeking joy amidst restrictions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
