Honor
In honor of the great poet it has occurred that wine has been poured on his grave, all according to his wish.
"The scent of wine rising from my grave will be so strong that it will intoxicate passers-by. There will be such an atmosphere of serenety that couples in love will find it impossible to tear themselves away." -Omar Khayyam
