Sullivan’s skeleton was originally published in 1859 accompanying a poem in Edward Fitzgerald’s first edition of his English translation of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, an 11/12th-century Persian mathematician, astronomer, philosopher and poet.
This poem appears in a later revision of the Rubáiyát translation and isn’t accompanied by Sullivan’s skeleton, but it felt right for the piece:
‘Oh, threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise!
One thing at least is certain — This Life flies
One thing is certain, and the rest is Lies;
The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.’
Edition of 15 also printed on rainbow foil paper
